Au jeu! - Tribute to Players
This piece is especially intended for the staunch supporters of the Montreal CH, since I wrote it and presented it during a national competition to find a new musical theme for Hockey Night in Canada! I dedicate it to all fervent fans of the Montreal CH as well as to their valiant heroes on blade skates.
Duration: 1m 20s
Suite no 1
Intrata: The modal opening, with dissonant harmonies, is reminiscent of a wind ensemble.
Choral: A continuous song whose ample and loose melodic line is supported by seductive, although discreet, harmonies.
Danse de cour: It's a day of celebration and everyone is invited: peasants, noble ladies and young ladies, with their energetic dances and graceful steps. Even the little “doggie” becomes an acrobat for the occasion..
Duration: 2m 50s
Apollo's Laurels
A symbol of triumph since antiquity, the laurel was the sacred tree of Apollo, and the one whose leaves adorned the foreheads of the victors at the Olympus games. The tree is still called today “Apollo laurel”, or “noble laurel”.
Here's a piece to celebrate all victories!
Duration: 2m 17s
