Last call
French Horn and PianoDuration 4 ’00
Last Call is part of a series of short pieces for brass and piano. In this series, Robert Lemay tried to find a fusion between the piano and the brass rather than a juxtaposition. In this piece, we can speak of a true horn and piano duet instead of a work for horn with piano accompaniment. The two instruments become complementary to each other.
This piece was made possible with the financial support of the Canada Council for the Arts.

Flute and PianoDuration 3’50
A point of balance is a meeting point where two opposing elements come together to find harmony or co-existence. In this score, I wanted to avoid the singing and melodious side of the flute. Here, the two instruments are treated in a percussive and rhythmic way. This is their point of balance

Quelques tranches de temps (Version B)
Flute, Alto Saxophone and ClarinetDuration 13’
The piece is inspired by a 360° photo that I saw in 2000. At that time, the photographer had to put cameras around the subject and take many pictures at the same time: but it was never exactly together. Each of the photos represented a "slice of time", hence the title "Few time slices". And together, these photos give the impression of something suspended in time. The stage layout of the musicians at the beginning is a metaphor for these photos. After, I explored the time of a more linear or rhythmic material.
