February 2, 20242 yr Hello everyone, After a few months of absence, I come back to see you for a new piece for voice and orchestra. I reconnect here with the poetry of Jules Laforgue, which is very dear to me. Very squeaky and pathetic poetry, with in French popular accents, elisions, a little familiar words, like a childish language. I subtitled with an English translation a little google, which probably does not do justice to the beauty of this poignant text. As usual, I record my voice in my home studio, and the instruments are from Spitfire Audio. The score at the base is written for piano, but directly designed for the orchestra, (and very little pianistic, which is why I did not wish to make a piano/singing version of it). Sorry not to present you the edited score, it's always in a project with my compositions, but it takes a lot of time that I unfortunately don't have... Thank you for your advice and comments! Krisp. https://youtu.be/WMvtnort3Fk?si=VnKCpOjeRvcWZczq
February 2, 20242 yr This is by far one of the most interesting things I've listened to in a very long time. I absolutely love it!!! Your textures are so varied.

February 8, 20242 yr really great and interesting orchestration ! digne d'un opéra ou d'un film disney 🙂 j'ai pensé au bossu de notre dame très bien écrit
February 9, 20242 yr Hey Jean, As I have already commented on YouTube, I think this one is an incredible farce on death. Moments like in 1:32 provides real great contrast with simpler harmony and lighter texture. Every one of your piece is so colourful with imaginative orchestral and harmonic colour, and your singing is always very attractive and adequately present the lyrics.

Yeah all those squeaky and childish languages are carefully maintained with those weird rests, vowels, and naivety like the opening march of the Nutcracker. I always enjoy your imagination and ability to portray colours. Wonderful piece! Henry

I thought of different poems by the same Jules Laforgue, or something very very different (a scientific lesson that I heard and to which I didn't understand anything could make an interesting libretto to sing...)
