Winter with all its moods has always been captured by composers in their music: Inspired by romantic walks in winter, dancing snowflakes, a look out of windows covered with ice-ferns, or an adventurous sleigh-ride, such musical winter dreams often became well-known and popular classics.The edition Winter Dreams contains a large number of these works, like the famous melodies from J.S. Bach's Christmas Oratorio or Handel's Messiah as well as evergreens from Winter Wonderland to the soundtrack of the cult film Three Wishes for Cinderella. / 3 Flûtes A Bec (SSA)

Par GUILLOU JEAN. Gerard Manley Hopkins was reputed to be a poet of semantic ambiguity and, in the opinion of Guillou, therefore comes closest to the art of musical expression. Guillou has already 'translated' 'Peace' from Hopkins' oeuvre into a work for eight voices and organ. In 'Andromèda', the sound of the organ and the human voice are supposed to amalgamate such that in effect a new organ stop emerges. At the same time, the composer wants to have the musical organ work seen as an independent poem, like the lines of Hopkins, and wishes the language of the organ to become a kind of living speech to a certain extent./ Répertoire / Soprano et Orgue
