This very melancholic piece opens with a melody made of 'mourning colore' notes which pass from one instrument to another. Then the music becomes more and more luminous with the successive enrichment of the instrumentation. I completed the manuscript in 1992 and the Sinfonietta orchestra Lausanne (Switzerland), conducted by Jean-Marc Grob, gave its premiere in 1993 at the City Theater Hall. Caroline Charrière, March 2010, Fribourg, Switzerland Excerpt of the concert critic written by Myriam Tétaz, Journal 14H, Lausanne, Switzerland: 'The audience was evidently sensitiv to the poetic moods and emotional intensity of the piece and received it very well. The language is personal, derived from modernist trends, and which possesses an undeniably expressive power'.
