Par ALLERME JEAN-MARC. En composant et en choisissant ces 24 mélodies réparties sur 2 volumes, j'ai choisi de mettre en scène musicalement la flûte à bec comme on le fait plus souvent pour des instruments qui bénéficient naturellement d'une meilleure cote de popularité. Je souhaitais également que cela soit l'occasion pour chacun de découvrir et d'apprendre cet instrument, de manière progressive et en commençant au tout début, grâce à une grande simplicité mélodique soutenue par une richesse harmonique et orchestrale, dans des styles musicaux variés. De plus, sur le CD, vous trouverez une version accompagnée au piano et une version orchestrée ainsi que les deux playbacks correspondants, permettant de faire, si besoin est, un travail de mise en place et d'interprétation en deux étapes progressives. Dans le livre, la simplicité de l'accompagnement de piano, surmonté de la grille harmonique, autorise le travail en duo sans qu'il soit nécessaire, pour le pianiste, de posséder plus d'une ou deux années de pratique instrumentale. Pour terminer, je dois avouer que ces nouvelles compositions m'ont également permis de mieux apprécier cet instrument doté de qualités insoupçonnées et peut-être pas toujours considéré comme il le devrait. J'espère évidemment qu'il en sera de même pour vous. Jean-Marc Allerme / Niveau : Assez Facile / variété - jazz / Recueil / Flûte à Bec

The 'Christmas Choirbook' is a collection of up-to-date, colorful arrangements of 22 Christmas songs from throughout the world. Among classics, dressed in new harmonic sounds, you will enjoy jazz and pop intonations, as well as gospel renditions of 'Go Tell It' and 'Joyful'. The skandinavien Christmas songs are particularly special: contemplative and musical, even droll as in the story about the Christmas troll in the finnish 'Tomtarnass Julnatt'.The 'Christmas Choirbook' offers many stylistic choices for the Christmas and Advent season choir music, so let the available CD (ED 9896-50) inspire you in the joyful singing of these pieces. Of course the recordings, meant only as a first and hopefully appealing impression, represent only a few of the many possible interpretations you will bring to the arrangements.Full verses were intentionally not recorded, although we did overlay simple instrumental accompaniments to the a cappella movements. In addition, the CD includes pure choire versions as well as some 'sing-a-longs', i.e. instrumental tracks for you to use as half-playback. / Choeur
