Description:
Chanson à Morphée by Jean-François Michel, written for wind quintet, is inspired by the phrase "in Morpheus' arms", a symbol for falling asleep. The work explores this floating state in which consciousness gradually fades into a dream. The composer depicts an unreal journey between dreamlike images and deep calm. The musical lines unfold smoothly, carried by a calm and enveloping breath. Delicate and sometimes floating timbres reflect the vagueness of the dream world. The timbres of the wind quintet combine to create a gentle and slightly mysterious atmosphere. Between clarity and blurring, the music hints at those moments in which the mind oscillates between waking and sleeping. Jean-François Michel thus creates an impressive sonic journey into an intimate world. Chanson à Morphée invites you on a quiet and poetic inner journey.
