Enfantines

(Code: A111300991)
For his three children, Claire, Marc and Éric, born between 1992 and 1996, Pierre Pincemaille has lovingly harmonized 15 children's songs inherited from popular tradition.
On Sundays, after the family meal, he would sit at the piano, leaf through the collection and choose a nursery rhyme (for the quality of its musical theme) which he was quick to adorn with beautiful Faurélian and Ravélian harmonies. Pencil and eraser in hand, he would take up his score again the following days, to bring in more and more harmonic richness, canons, imitations, of which he had the secret.

Collection of 15 children's songs harmonized by Pierre Pincemaille

:

For his three children, Claire, Marc and Eacute;ric, born between 1992 and 1996, Pierre Pincemaille has lovingly harmonized 15 children's songs from the popular tradition.

Anne-France Pincemaille tell us:



On Sundays, after the family meal, he would sit at the piano, leaf through the collection and choose a nursery rhyme (for the quality of its musical theme) which he would hasten to decorate with beautiful harmonies, both faded and ravaged. Pencil and eraser in hand, he would take up his score again the following days, to bring in more and more harmonic richness, canons, imitations, of which he had the secret.
Freely distancing himself from any harmonic medium, often used for these popular nursery rhymes, Pierre Pincemaille puts all his art of harmonist and colorist at the service of a diversity of characters, affirmed by the terms indicated at the beginning of the score: successively lullaby, vigorous, martial, mischievous, ingenuous, dreamy. ..
The lyrics of Les Enfantines are the result of a bias: in order to facilitate the implementation of the songs, it was necessary to limit the number of verses, by avoiding covers - a little tedious nowadays where one should not "waste time" any more - while preserving the coherence of the sung story.
Due to oral tradition, the versions differ.
The interpreter will be free to use other words and, if he or she wishes, to re-write the story...
Les Enfantines are 1 to 2 minutes each.
