Le boeuf sur le toit, op. 58

Le Bœuf sur le toit (literally "the ox on the roof"), Op. 58 is a 15-minute piece for small orchestra by the composer Darius Milhaud, written in 1919–20. Milhaud conceived the piece as incidental music for any one of the comic silent films of Charlie Chaplin, but it received its premiere as the music for a ballet staged by Jean Cocteau in February 1920.
