Op. 205, 1939, based on Milhaud's contribution to the film Cavalcade d'amour by Raymond Bernard--the film was an anthology of three short love stories set in the 15th-century court of Count René I of Provence, "le bon roi René", and René's Cheminée ("fireplace") was the sunlight, where he liked to warm himself in the morning.

The movements are:

  1. Cortège (procession)
  2. Aubade (dawnsong)
  3. Jongleurs (jugglers)
  4. La maousinglade (saraband)
  5. Joutes sur l'Arc (jousting on the River Arc)
  6. Chasse à Valabre (hunting at Valabre)
  7. Madrigal nocturne (nocturnal madrigal)
