Photo de classe - music by Jean-Claude Wilkens, texts by Sylvie Morerod, arrangements by Hervé Noirot
:
A series of 12 portraits of children at school, covering a wide range of everyday subjects.
"Photo de classe" is first and foremost the fruit of a beautiful friendship that began almost 20 years ago. Jean-Claude was keen to compose, and he knew that Sylvie loved writing for children. That's all it took for the songs to come together.
Each of the characters is inspired by one or other of the pupils Sylvie has had throughout her career, pupils with well-defined characters whom she has never forgotten.
With Photo de classe, the first collaboration between Sylvie Morerod (text) and Jean-Claude Wilkens (music), Éditions À Cœur Joie invites 5-12 year-olds to discover the characters of 12 pupils from the same class. They'll get to know Victoire, Roméo, Mehdi and the others through little moments of life taken on the spot...
With their alternately cheerful and gentle melodies, and lyrics tinged with humor and whimsy, these 12 original songs reveal beautiful stories of friendship and sharing, beyond differences and prejudices.
These recordings were made in partnership with the Conservatoire de Vichy and students from Joël Jorda's class. Many thanks to Mathilde Auger for her voice, Hervé Noirot for piano and Marc Simon for sound engineering.
