Songbook of 9 canons, melodies and works for 2 children voices
This collection gathers musical creations for school choirs or children's groups aged 7 to 12, without excluding less young choristers - a work like "Par enchantement" is a "fantasy" suitable for all ages.
À Coeur Joie has always been committed to enriching the repertoire sung by young people and children: its collections (Cantourel, Ma chanterie, Florilège, Polymélodies...) bear witness to this. Here's a new initiative from the Association "Musique pour les Jeunes en Hainaut", chaired by Pierre Leduque, himself a choral conductor.
Singing expresses the thoughts, events and emotions we experience. In their games and dreams, children often express these through song, and they are constantly drawing on a repertoire that exists or that they create.
The role of the educator is to bring this spontaneous expression to life through beauty and towards beauty: hence the mastery of vocal expression, through canons, polyphonies and compositions.
Many composers have taken part in this creative competition, and today the winning works are published.
These works will be performed in schools, initially in the Valenciennes region. Then they will certainly go beyond the schoolyards and into life. Some of them may even become part of our heritage and live on in our memories. For that, we need the quality of their realization, a quality that is found in the texts and music selected and offered in this lovely collection, which bears the name of one of the songs: "enchantement".
