Par BROSSE DIRK. En 2007, Dirk Brossé compose Il Signor Brossini (Monsieur Brossini) à l’occasion du 70e anniversaire de son père. Il fait de la mélodie du célébrissime Happy Birthday (Joyeux anniversaire) le fil conducteur de son oeuvre. Divers petits fragments successifs brossent le caractère de “Monsieur Brossini” : tantôt héroïque, tantôt impressionniste et romantique, parfois passionné et fougueux, mais aussi fragile et émouvant, et toujours avec humour. La mélodie de la chanson Happy Birthday a été composée par deux soeurs américaines, Patty et Mildred J. Hill, en 1893, lorsqu’elles enseignaient à Louisville dans le Kentucky. En 1990, cette mélodie fut vendueaux éditions Warner Chappell pour la coquette somme de quinze millions de dollars. D’après le Livre Guinness des Records, Happy Birthday est l’air le plus chanté de tous les temps. Les orchestrations sont multiples et couvrent une pléiade de combinaisons instrumentales. Quant au texte, il a été traduit dans presque toutes les langues. Si le titre Il Signor Brossini fait référence au brillant compositeur italien Gioacchino Rossini, il rappelle également les origines italiennes de la famille Brossé. / Niveau : 5 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie
