Pérégrinations takes by its eclectic choices a new look at the world of trombone, revealing hitherto unsuspected charms of the instrument. And indeed, the trombone was a little used solo instrument that due to its rather powerful sound was primarily intended for orchestral use. Its deep register and dark sound were often used to evoke solemn emotions and memories but in the following kalèidoscope of pieces its lightness, profundity, sensibility and virtuosity will be explored.
Dedicated to Baroque Italian composers, this CD embeds several pieces that will make us discover the diversity of styles, among which the famous Corelli's Follia interpreted byGilles Colliard.
" A little jazzy Piece that will ring a bell to pre-teenagers (and others), reminding them of days were they don't want to do anything .... Children's voices and piano bring us to a music hall atmosphere. " - Jean-Michel MAURY
" La Chanson du Large is a song from Sans se retourner, a musical story built around the theme of sea, which is often an unattainable dream for lots of children. This song is built as a traditional sailor song, using ternary rhythm of course! " - Pascal DUBOST
" Le Bateau is a song from Sans se retourner,, a musical story built around the theme of sea, which is often an unattainable dream for lots of children. Rhythmic, this song could be open to a musical improvisation between verse no. 3 and verse no. 4, which corresponds to the beginning of the dream. " - Pascal DUBOST
