A bout de bras
Trombone and Piano
Durée 5 ’00
À bout de bras 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 trombone and piano duet instead of a work for trombone 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.

Bassoon and PianoDuration 3’30
The expression means that in a race, competition or election, the two candidates are equal. In this case, it is the two performers who are equal. But also when you watch a bassoonist playing, the elbows are always a little high.

Robert Lemay Bas Relief - pdf

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.
