Thérèse Brenet's "Le Fascinateur with poetry by Jean-Pierre Luminet

Thérèse Brenet has written many works inspired by the Cosmos and Space. Her most recently published work is a trio with narrator which uses the poetry of astrophysicist Jean-Pierre Luminet. From the composer's notes:

Le Fascinateur is scored for narrator, celtic harp, piano and percussion.

The texts are taken from a poem by the astrophysicist Jean-Pierre Luminet. Nous nous étions plu, in Griphes, followed by Topiques, (Gérard Oberlé, Manoir de Pron, Nivernais, 1989).

The juxtaposition suggests in epigram a quotation from Gaston Bachelard, which could apply to the musical score with an equal pertinence, since the music is, for Thérèse Brenet, the echo of the Cosmos

“All of the words which are called to greatness by a poet are the keys to the universe, to the double universe of the cosmos and of the depths of the human soul.”

The work is available on the composer's page at our website. It will be recorded in a few months under the musical direction of Jean Thorel.
