| | This score is for a soloist who accompanies a choir with 2 equal voices. The solo section can be performed by a small group because it is very easy and melodic. “Au zoo des Seize” is a line of 16 poems written by the Swiss Emile Gardaz and put it to music for the 16 choristers of the XVI Choir of Fribourg. This choir won the First Prize of the competition of the choral festivals de Tours (1978), of Arezzo (1978), Vienna (1989) and is conducted by the composer André Ducret. He was born in Fribourg (Switzerland) in 1945 where he started music with de Pierre Kaelin, Michel Corboz, Jean Balissat, Eric Ericson. He regularly conducts the Chamber orchestra of Lausanne and the Romandy Orchestra. From 1989 to 1992, he conducted the professional choir of the Swiss-Italian Radio. His talents as a composer are renowned both in the sector of the folk music and in the virtuoso music of contemporary language. |
| | | This piece can mostly be performed by children with a great vocal range. The lyrics deal with the time going by and childlike feelings inspired by Christmas. Karine Choual read Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tales and stories and then created this sweet composition. |
| | | This song was composed in London in 1848. This is the second part of trilogy of Tristia (op. 18) which was published entirely in 1852. The topic of the song is Ophelia’s death in the Act 4 of Hamlet, written by William Shakespeare. Hector Berlioz is a master of counterpoint. This little-known romantic and delicate song deserves to be known and has a place in concert repertoires. |
| | | Written after William Shakespeare, Ophélie s death is a piece by Hector Berlioz. For two female voices (Soprano and Contralto) accompanied by a Piano, this piece tells the story of the death of Ophélie, while she was picking some flowers next to a torrential river. Even though the end of the story is sad, the music is highly lyrical resulting from the combination of the two voices, and the Piano part could be played by an upper intermediate player. Hector Berlioz (1803-1869) was a French Romantic composer who made a significant contribution to music. His best-known pieces are his ''Fantastic Symphony'' and his ''Requiem''.
