Les Trois Mousquetaires-Les Trois Mousquetaires est une commande de la société Miraphone pour le Miraphone Tuba Quartett et la Musique des Gardiens de la Paix qui en assurèrent la création à Guebwiller (France) le 28 juin 2003. / Même si l?on n?a jamais lu une seule ligne du roman mythique d?Alexandre Dumas Les Trois Mousquetaires (1844) on connaît nécessairement le quatuor parfait (avec sa célèbre devise « Tous pour un un pour tous ») que forment D?Artagnan Athos Porthos et Aramis. Aussi ne compte-t-on plus les nombreuses adaptations du roman ni les nombreux historiens qui s?intéressent au très réel Charles de Batz de Castelmore d?Artagnan mort au siège de Maastricht en 1673. Letissu musical des Trois Mousquetaires (The Three Musketeers) s?intéresse davantage aux éléments de la personnalité d?un personnage qu?au rôle qu?il joue dans l?intrigue. La trame est vivante on y vit intensément. Maxime Aulio a orienté son choix sur D?Artagnan le parfait gentilhomme sensible et romantique qui se laisse facilement séduire par les femmes à l'image de la douce Constance Bonacieux dont il s'éprend et de la perfide Milady de Winter dont la beauté l?envoûte. Le premier mouvement - D?Artagnan - est fidèle au caractère du jeune noble provincial venu de Gascogne : enthousiaste et héroïque en toutes circonstances. Le second mouvement - Constance Bonacieux - est galant prévenant et passionné. Le troisième et dernier tableau est quant à lui aussi ensorceleur et sournois que la femme fatale qu?il dépeint Milady de Winter.

In upstate New York lie the Catskill Mountains an extraordinary combination of tranquillity and power peace and majesty. Once seen they call you back again and again.
