“Jean
-Michel Defaye's Sea
Suite is a really nice
set of six pieces
portraying sea animals.
Written for Bb Saxhorn,
Bass Tuba or Euphonium,
with Piano accompaniment,
these six pieces are of
medium/high difficulty.
Each piece tries to
re-create the main
characteristics of the
animal depicted, such as
their weight, using the
low range of the
instruments and their
speed, with the Dolphin
being faster and lighter
than the Sea Lion for
example. The Piano
accompaniment also uses
numerous atonal chords.
It features: 1. L'otarie
- The Sea Lion, 1'35' 2.
Le cachalot - The Sperm
Whale, 1'30' 3. Le requin
- The Shark, 1'20' 4.
L'éléphant
de mer - The Elephant
Seal, 1'20' 5. Le
baleineau ' The Whale
Calf, 0'53' 6. Le dauphin
' The Dolphin, 1'20' The
book includes an insert
with the instrument-only
parts. As a pianist,
composer, producer and
arranger, Jean-Michel
Defaye mainly created
pieces for brass and wind
instruments. He won the
Premier Second Grand Prix
de Rome in 1958 and the
Belgian Queen Elizabeth
composition competition
in 1959.&rdquo.
