Bas relief
Barytone Saxophone
duration 8'00
I have always loved ancient art, especially Egyptian and Greek sculptures. The bas-reliefs are interesting because they are something between painting and sculpture; a surface in 3 dimensions. In this sense, the bas-reliefs remind me of the reliefs of the contemporary artist Eli Bornstein.
And in bas-relief, there is the word "bas" (low or bottom) which also refers, in music, to the low register. This explains the choice of the baritone saxophone for this work.
The work was written for the American saxophonist Geoffrey Deibel and was premiered in Zagreb in July 2018 at the 18th World Saxophone Congress.

The title refers to cinema, but also to the sounds of keys and other clarinet noises that are explored here. Playful and theatrical piece, it can very well suit for students.

Pommes
Percussions
Durée 17'
8 short pieces for solo percussion instruments

Pommes (Apples in English)  is a series of 8 short pieces for solo percussion instruments. Four are for snare drum, one for temple-blocks, one for bass drum, one for three toms and finally one for tam-tam. The title refers to the POM (the same sound as the word apple in French) percussion sound, but also to the apple (the fruit). Each piece has a title that includes the word apple.
These 8 pieces can be played individually or as a whole. If you choose to play several pieces or all 8 pieces, my suggestion is to follow an alternation between the snare drum pieces and those for the other instruments.
This project has been made possible with financial assistance from the Canada Council for the Arts and Laurentian University (Research Office).
