Description
What can be nicer than becoming a child again while listening to Ravel’s ‘Ma Mère l’Oye’?
The fairy tale atmosphere is palpable through the whole piece. The music evokes each single character and the enchanting nature that surrounds them.
When arranging it for harp quintet I had in my hands both the original piano-duo score and the colourful orchestral version.
The quintet has plenty of possibilities in its palette: the simplicity of the chamber music setting, but also a great range of dynamics and effects which we would expect from a much larger ensemble.
This will make you feel as you were reading Charles Perrault ’s Tales of Mother Goose with the help of a little light, in your bed, hiding under the blankets. There, thanks to your imagination, you would think of an infinite room all around you, an image full of forests, birds, beasts and princesses.
I am happy to give my little contribution to the repertoire of the harp-flute quintet.
I want to thank, from the bottom of my heart, my friends from the Ensemble Lumaka and Wilbert Bulsink, for helping me to learn how to write for instruments which are not mine and for bringing this arrangement to life!
