Enchantement 1
This collection collects musical creations for school choirs or for groups of children from 7 to 12 years old, without excluding younger choristers.
- a work like “Par enchantement” is a “fantasy” which is suitable for all ages.
These pieces were awarded at the Children's song creation competition organized by the “Music for Young People in Hainaut” (France),
in partnership with Éditions À Coeur Joie.
All are quality original composition in three categories:
• cannons
• melodies
• songs for 2 equal voices.
The repertoire of young choristers must constantly be enriched. A Coeur Joie is committed to it: its collections (Cantourel, Ma chanterie, Florilège, Polymélodies ...) are testifying. Here is another initiative: it was accomplished by the “Music for Young People in Hainaut” Association, chaired by Pierre Leduque, himself choir director.
The song translates thoughts, events, emotions that we all experience. Children in their games, their dreams, often express themselves by singing, never stop and draw from a directory that exists or that they create. The role of the educator is to carry this spontaneous expression through the beautiful
and towards the beautiful: hence the controlled vocal expression, that of
canons, polyphonies, compositions.
Many composers have entered this Creation competition which allows today the edition of award-winning works. These works are appllaused in schools, but they will certainly overflow the schoolyards to get into life. Some will perhaps have the fate of the heritage by remaining in the memories. Their qualities for it are found as well in the music than in the texts, and the link in between. This beautiful collection bears the name of one of the songs: "enchantment". You can discover the many other volumes of the collection.
