I have set several poems of Jacques Prévert to music, but have received permission from his estate for just two so far, so I am publishing those two:
1. Malgré Moi - 4 settings: for two equal voices and guitar, for two equal voices and piano and also arranged for two saxophones and piano and for cello quintet
and
2. Quartier Libre (Le Képi) - set for two equal voices unaccompanied (medium voices or low voices)
I would emphasise that they are duly registered with PRS for SACEM (performing rights societies in the UK and France respectively)
and that any performances incorporating the poems must be declared to the SDRM.

Based on my setting of Prévert's poem "Malgré moi", this ditty uses a sort of ostinato in the piano and the ocarinas (one in G (Sol2) and one in C (Do3)) play an altered canon above it.
The sound sample is an electronic preview.
The zip file contains scores (transposed and concert pitch) and parts (including both transposed and concert pitch versions for the Ocarina in G)

Another version of my Malgré Moi setting (inspired by the poem of that name by Jacques Prévert).
This one is for an ocarina in C, an ocarina in G and a guitar. I have notated the guitar in a simple classical form and also provided chord names, so that the guitarist can improvise on the chords if preferred.
The zip file contains the score and parts and also an untransposed score (ie with the ocarina in G untransposed) for reference.

Instrumental arrangement, in quasi canonic form with piano ostinato, of my song inspired by Prévert's poem Malgré Moi
In the poem Prévert claims they may have tried to recruit him to the factory or army of ideas
(ie to go along with the masses), but he prefers to go his own way: "autre chose" - the other - is what he does and what he likes.
