Two new vocal works by Thérèse Brenet

Two new works for voice and piano (both of which also exist for voice and orchestra) by Thérèse Brenet have just been published by Musik Fabrik: Poème de Jade for Baritone Voice, Flute and Piano and Perles d'Ambre for female voice and piano.

Poème de Jade is a setting of seven Chinese poems which are taken from "La Flûte de Jade", a series of French translations of Chinese poems by Franz Toussaint. The voice part is intertwined with the flute part in a very expressive manner. The seven poems deal with images of love, of desire and ultimately with the role of the composer in Society. The work lasts for 17 minutes. The orchestral version is scored for 4 percussion, harp, harpsichord, piano and strings (44221)

Perles d'ambre is a wordless vocalize for female voice (low a to high b) and piano. The work is intended to be (in the words of the composer) "liberty, sensitivity and all of the expression of Music which breathes...in the infinite spirals of Love and Beaufy, above Space and Time.". The work lasts aproximately seven minutes. The orchestration is for 2 percussion, harp, harpischord and strings.

Both works are available in our vocal music catalog.
