"Although Georges Auric (1899-1983) is best remembered today for his affiliation with the Groupe des Six, his musical career was long, productive, complex, and intimately attuned to the realities of modern life. His polyvalent career-as a composer of concert, theatrical, ballet, popular, film, and television music; music critic; opera director; and arts administrator-reveals a diversity of engagements that speak to a reconfiguration of the role of the composer in the modern world. Auric was a product of his time, with deep connections to France's artistic, social, and political elites. At the same time, he drew on his prestige and privilege to improve the country's musical life in tangible ways, whether with regard to musical education and access or to the establishment of fair copyright laws. He took artistic collaboration, already a hallmark of the short-lived Groupe des Six, to a level that surpassed any of the other members of that group. Diverging from the romantic trope of individual creation, Auric's legacy troubles conventional ideas of what it means to be a "composer.""--
