The composer wanted to share childhood spirit, to represent the strong link we feel between the soul and the world when we look at landscapes and beings and that we are surrounded by poetry. There are nostalgic ballades, java, tango, bossa nova, meticulous melody and harmony and some comical aspects.
Jean Ribbe was born in 1963 and is a composer, a pianist, a musician who sometimes intervenes to the Conservatoire de Lyon and he is a trainer to CFMI in Lyon. The ensembles of these two organizations order him works but sometimes have technical restrictions he has to respect. He wants to write poetical works with a musical and literary writing intended for children and teenagers. He already wrote works like songs, pieces for solos on the piano, for instrumental ensembles, and mixed ensembles.

Antonín Dvorák was a poor composer in 1875. He used to supplement his income by giving piano lessons with upper-class Praguer. That’s how he met Jan Neff’s family. Jan Nett was a rich Moravian storekeeper who was used to ask him to stay to accompany the couple on the piano. Jan Neff asked him for popular Moravian songs, but Antonín Dvorák recreated it and kept the original lyrics and atmosphere of these songs. He composed new works, including 23 Moravian duets intended to be sung by two voices accompanied on the piano split into five collections. “A já ti uplynu” is the first one of them. It can be sung by sopranos and altos accompanied by the piano, but also by choirs.

This choir suite is based on Claude Plociéniak’s poems. It’s like a free variation around time topic. There is time of love, because we want it to be conjugated in present tense forever. The time of seasons is a metaphor for personal fortune. This is also time of regret when days and words are flying away.
Time goes by, and it is represented like an invitation to see world’s beauties. Time never stops running, but this tale is like a quest to find the Paradise we lost.
