Ce qui compte dans un chemin, ce qui compte dans une ligne, c'est toujours le milieu, pas le début ni la fin. On est toujours au milieu d'un chemin, au milieu de quelque chose. ' (Gilles Deleuze, Claire Parnet, Dialogues.)Charmediterrannéen représente un moment très significatif de mes recherches sur les relations entre notre langage maternel (les musiques ethniques de la Méditerranée, surtout de l'Afrique du Nord, du sud de l'Italie et de la Sardaigne, lieu de mes racines) et le jazz contemporain.Le but, c'est de mettre en route des collisions de différentes qualités de langage pour inventer des images nouvelles, le devenir d'une rencontre dans le temps d'éléments contraires, qui se révéleraient complémentaires ? régularité / irrégularité - continuité / discontinuité - vitesse / lenteur - présence / absence - musique et? poésie, photographie, danse? - blanc / noir - saleté / propreté - juste / faux - son / silence - vide / plein - tradition / innovation - jazz / non jazz?A la recherche d'une ligne de passage des formes à l'action, ce qui, sur le plan musical, signifie réussir à aller au-delà des partitions, qui seront rigoureuses et soignées. Il s'agit toutefois de découvrir ce qu'il y a derrière l'écriture? L'essence du matériel, dans sa différence, est ce qui dépasse la structure, c'est l'aspect merveilleux de l'art de l'improvisation que je définis comme ' un geste, quelque chose qui intéresse la culture refoulée du corps et de ses émotions, qui synthétise en un seul instant/instinct créatif les étapes caractérisant les processus de l'art de composer : connaissance, pensée, décision.

Epitaph written for a 31-piece ensemble was the masterwork of composer/bassist Charles Mingus. The extended suite is comprised of multiple movements reflecting a wealth of compositional styles (not just jazz) thatdemonstrate Mingus' invaluable contribution to 20th-century American music. Since its last performance 15 years ago additional movements have been discovered that were originally intended to be a part of the work. This unique500-page score includes these “missing movements” along with historical and program notes. Prepared and edited under the guidance of Gunther Schuller and Sue Mingus it provides a monumental resource for study andanalysis. The first jazz composition of such magnitude ever to be published it is presented in this edition as he left it: a summary work a portrait for all time of his life in music. “I wrote it for my tombstone.”- Charles Mingus

Contrairement à la plupart comédies musicales livre, qui suivent une intrigue claire, Company est un composé de vignettes courts, présentés sans ordre chronologique particulier, lié par une célébration pour le 35e anniversaire de Bobby.

Comme Sondheim, ' ce sont des gens de classe moyenne avec la classe moyenne-problèmes '. C'est aussi un des comédies musicales des premières où les chansons a commenté les personnages de la pièce au lieu de favoriser l'intrigue, un dispositif qui est devenu un standard Sondheim. / Chant/Vocal/Choeur
