Pdf Version
Collection Divertimento
Accordion octet and Saxophone quartet
Duration 10'00

This piece was commissioned by the C.R.D. Henri Dutilleux.
It is in two movements whose characters are quite distinct.
"Incantations" plunges us into the enchantment of a forest on the day of the great incantations.
Fairies and witches gather around a large fire to prepare their incantations and to prepare their incantations and welcome the procession of the spirits of the forest.

"Slow Dance" is an ecstatic dance that each spirit will join at the appropriate time. It is voluntarily repetitive, all the expressive approach lies in the sound research, the quality of the attacks, the management of the bellows for some and the breath for others. for the others. A real work of orchestral symbiosis can be achieved.
The indications of register are only a suggestion, considering the complexity of the existing accordion types.
The pitches are to be well respected. It is of a level of end of second cycle.
According to the maturity of the performers and the finesse of the playing, there can be two possible arrangements.
The easiest one to manage, invites to put the octet of accordions in front, in arc of circle (as the first row of strings of an orchestra) and behind the quartet of saxophone quartet.
The most interesting, but more complex to apprehend, consists in alternating (by slightly moving back the saxophonists) on the same arc of circle.
Accordions 1 and 2 / soprano sax
Accordions 3 and 4 / alto sax
Accordions 5 and 6 / tenor sax
Accordions 7 and 8 / baritone sax

Sofiane Messabih L'attrape-rêve - Pdf
Pdf Version
For Flute and piano
Duration 5'30
At night, when we fall into the arms of Morpheus, a little being is watching over us! Well, I should say watches over our dreams and especially our nightmares.
He goes around at lightning speed but always discreetly and delicately.
And when a nightmare comes, the dream catcher comes to crunch it! Thus, quietly, the time of the dreams takes its course and the sleep can continue.
This work, for grade 4, allows young performers to familiarize themselves with the quick detachment or the double detachment.
It allows an expressiveness both in the slow parts with this very soaring theme but also in the fast part

Sofiane Messabih Le pont flottant - Pdf
Pdf Version
For Solo Flute
Duration 5'
A bridge is always a link between two things that, at the beginning, are not supposed to be connected.
A bridge between two sides, between two countries, two continents, two worlds and even between reality and dreams.
This one floats, it is unstable, constantly shaken by the winds more or less strong. It moves in all directions, it adapts to all climatic conditions, suffers, wears out but never breaks because... it contains, in its center, the flute player, the one who holds everything in balance, who, with her melodies, according to the movements of the bridge, harmonizes everything.
This score for grade 6, allows a beautiful approach of the vibrato speeds as well as an interesting work on the more complex rhythms.
It is voluntarily constructed without measures, like a large cadenza, very free, thus promoting the expressiveness and musicality of the performer.

Le Samouraï noir
Alto Saxophone and pianoDuration 6’15
grade 6

This work is the winner of the 2022 A.Sax Composition Competition in the category grade 6.
Le samouraï noir (the black samourai) is in the program of the second National Competition of Interpretation for Young Saxophonists of the A.Sax 2022 in the category grade 6.
and in the program of the International Adolphe Sax Competition l'Haÿ-les-Roses 2022.
The Black Samurai( Le Samouraï Noir) is inspired by a true story.
This composition in 3 parts represents the life of this future samurai.
In the first part, the composer evokes the beginning of the life of a black slave sold to the Chinese. This beginning is very dynamic, we enter immediately in a rhythm and a frenetic pulse, with an energetic and intense dynamic presence.
The second part describes the travel to China from Africa by boat.
The melancholy, and the deep sadness of this slave shows strong emotions.
The third part tells how a Japanese emperor buys this black slave and see in him a potential samurai.
The Black Samurai is born.
The phrase, as well as the tempo, evoke the training, the fights. All this remains an art. It is for these reasons that this part is nervous and dancing, fluid and fast like a Samurai at the top of his practice.
