L'Age de Noé est un arrangement que j'ai écrit pour les débuts de ma version de l'Orchestre National de Jazz en 1994, à partir d'une composition datant de 1980. C'est un morceau assez simple, de type concerto, sur une structure AAB de 3 fois 20 mesures. Dans mes orchestres, j'ai toujours souhaité que les solistes puissent changer à chaque exécution d'un arrangement. Ce fut le cas bien sûr avec l'O.N.J. Cependant, L'Age de Noé est vite devenu une sorte de morceau de bravoure pour Stefano di Battista qui l'a joué parfois à l'alto, mais le plus souvent au soprano. L'arrangement peut être joué par n'importe quel instrument soliste. Le conducteur sur deux portées sert pour toute la section rythmique. Chacun de ses membres détermine sa partie en fonction des données figurant dans ce conducteur. (Laurent Cugny) / Big Band / Partition

The final ensemble chorus starts softly and builds to a climactic ending - with plenty of attitude!
