Editing Les Six (section)

==Collaborations==
Although the group did not exist to work on compositions [[Classical music written in collaboration|collaboratively]], there were six occasions, spread over 36 years, on which at least some members of the group did work together on the same project. On only one of these occasions was the entire Groupe des Six involved; in some others, composers from outside the group also participated.

Auric and Poulenc were involved in all six of these collaborations, Milhaud in five, Honegger and Tailleferre in three, but Durey in only one.

===1920: ''L'Album des Six''===
In 1920 the group published an album of piano pieces together, known as ''[[L'Album des Six]]''. This was the only work in which all six composers collaborated.

# ''Prélude'' (1919) – '''Auric'''
# ''Romance sans paroles'', Op. 21 (1919) – '''Durey'''
# ''Sarabande'', H 26 (1920) – '''Honegger'''
# ''Mazurka'' (1914) – '''Milhaud'''
# ''Valse in C'', [[FP (Poulenc)#17|FP 17]] (1919) – '''Poulenc'''
# ''Pastorale, Enjoué'' (1919) – '''Tailleferre'''

===1921: ''Les mariés de la tour Eiffel''===
In 1921, five of the members jointly composed the music for Cocteau's ballet ''[[Les mariés de la tour Eiffel]]'', which was produced by the [[Ballets suédois]], the rival to the Ballets Russes. Cocteau had originally proposed the project to Auric, but as Auric did not finish rapidly enough to fit into the rehearsal schedule, he then divided the work up among the other members of Les Six. Durey, who was not in Paris at the time, chose not to participate. The première was the occasion of a public scandal rivalling that of ''[[The Rite of Spring|Le sacre du printemps]]'' in 1913. In spite of this, ''Les mariés de la tour Eiffel'' was in the repertoire of the Ballets suédois throughout the 1920s.
