English summary: Darius Milhaud was one of the most innovative and influential French composers of the twentieth century. The eleven studies in this volume showcase new aspects of his musical production and his creative personality. The first section highlights the experimental aspects of Milhauds career, the second explores his relations with other composers and musicians, and the third examines the social and political contexts for Milhauds work, especially during the 1930s. French description: L'oeuvre monumentale de Darius Milhaud (1892-1974) retrace la trajectoire d'un compositeur de son temps, conscient des enjeux esthetiques de la modernite musicale francaise. Figure de proue de la polytonalite, membre du Groupe des Six, Milhaud n'a cesse tout au long de sa carriere d'experimenter des avenues compositionnelles novatrices. Sa nature profondement inventive, conjuguee a une constante ouverture d'esprit aux arts et aux lettres, l'amene a se tailler une place de choix parmi ses contemporains de la scene musicale internationale. Les onze etudes rassemblees ici permettent de decouvrir de nouveaux aspects de la production et de la personnalite creatrice du compositeur francais. Divise en trois parties, l'ouvrage s'ouvre sur la figure de l' experimentateur chez Milhaud, saisissable depuis ses premiers essais polytonaux, jusqu'aux compositions aleatoires de maturite en passant par des partitions montrant de veritables innovations dans le domaine vocal. La deuxieme partie gravite autour de la question des rapports particuliers que Milhaud entretient avec ses contemporains, en l'occurrence Maurice Ravel et Charles Koechlin, ainsi qu'avec le couple bresilien Nininha et Oswaldo Guerra. La derniere partie se consacre au contexte sociopolitique francais des annees 1930 ou Milhaud est confronte a de nouveaux defis esthetiques a travers ses collaborations pour le Front populaire, le theatre et le film. En plus de presenter de nombreux documents d'archives inedits (lettres, correspondances, programmes de concert et documents iconographiques), ce collectif jette un regard critique sur des oeuvres generalement ignorees, et tout particulierement celles ecrites pour la voix, la scene, le ballet et le cinema.
