De la musique contemporaine divertissante,,,est-ce possible, me direz-vous ? Mais oui,,,en voici un pur exemple, Le traité médical du XVIIIème qui sert de livret à l'Opéra thérapeutique, semble avoir été écrit par l'un de nos surréalistes, Derrière tous ces rires, une certaine cruauté cependant, un absurde grinçant, qui peut, au détour de certaines phrases, donner froid dans le dos,,, Isabelle Aboulker est une de nos compositrice actuelles les plus indépendantes, inclassables ! Elle ne peut se raccrocher à aucune école, aucun style, Sa musique est légère, drôle, 'facile' comme on dit ! Mais ça fait du bien à voir et à entendre,Mireille Larroche Metteur en scène Directrice de la Péniche-Opéra D'après les obesrvations de Félix Vicq D'Azyr (1748-1794)Médecin et anatomiste, Vicq D'Azyr fit, à la fin du XVIIIème siècle, une brillante carrière, Titulaire de la chaire d'anatomie de la Faculté de Médecine de Paris, il prit part au développement de cette science en décrivant plusieurs structures de l'encéphale humain et en montrant l'intérêt de l'anatomie comparée, Il laisse plusieurs traités d'anatomie humaine et animale,En 1789, il fut nommé premier médecin de la Reine et médecin consultant du Roi, Il joua un rôle éminent comme secrétaire perpétuel de la Société Royale de Médecine, créée en 1776, Ce fut sous son impulsion que cette société savante publia un 'nouveau plan de constitution pour la médecine' (1790), premier projet de réforme révolutionnaire, / Solistes Et Clavier

Over the Rainbow is a standard that has become forever associated with its most famous interpreter, Judy Garland. Her troubled adult years only added poignancy to her guileless interpretation of the song, preserved on celluloid in The Wizard of Oz when she was seventeen. The song would also do something similar for Eva Cassidy whose 1992 version brought her posthumous fame almost a decade later. Arranged beautifully by Christopher Hussey for SSA choir with Piano accompaniment, this anthem of hope has not lost its bitter-sweet yearning. / Choeur De Femmes (SSA) Et Piano
