Of smaller things

“Incantare” is latin for “to sing”; “to repeat with words”; “to consecrate with spells”. Commissioned by the Goethe Institut Korea, the first performance was given at the TIMF by the TIMF/IEMA ensemble March 2014. 

Incantare mvt I

"Tu est magique" for SSA youth choir is written at the request of Sofi Jeannin and commissioned by Festival Presences Radio France.

Constructed as a series of short vignettes, each movement is a sort of meditation / incantation based on a phrase or keyword in the poem. The text speaks of freedom, and liberation and the courage to be unabashed about who we are.
