d'après la nouvelle de Guy de Maupassant-Isabelle Aboulker’s A Girl Called Dumpling for Mixed Choir Narrator and Instrumental Ensemble (Vocal score). “Choosing an opera libretto is always delicate particularly if the work is aimed at young adults or teenagers (performers and audience). Published in 1880 Guy Maupassant's short story 'Dumpling' contains all of the elements essential to the process fruition and purpose of my work. In 1870 France was conquered and occupied. The Prussians marched into Rouen. The analogies with contemporary history are numerous and offer choir conductors and teachers multiple sources of reflection and analysis. The dignitaries whoreadily give in to power and collaborate with the occupier contrast with a young prostitute who is brave generous and patriotic. The libretto was taken straight from the original text though some cuts were necessary in order to keep the rhythm and momentum required in setting Maupassant’s story to music”. -Isabelle Aboulker

Balades nostalgiques, un peu de java, de tango, de bossa nova, un parcours mélodique et harmonique soigné... Jean RIBBE, né en 1963, est compositeur, pianiste, musicien intervenant rattaché au Conservatoire National de Région de Lyon et formateur permanent au CFMI de Lyon.
