Finally some extracts from the five works of sacred music written at the end of the 90s. If at the time the project of works for choir and the prospect of concerts in churches were attractive to benefit from the exceptional surroundings and acoustics of These places, it is nevertheless an adventure that I regret because by drawing necessarily from a text rather connoted, the Bible, I served a religious ideology. Which was obviously not my goal although believers and artists have this common point of taking the abstract seriously. Which is apparently not within the reach of everyone.
That said, writing sacred music generates a creative tension, baba cool imbued with generosity and it is very inspiring even if once we look up from the score we know that brotherhood between men without interest in sonar it quickly becomes a myopic whale.

Created on April 26, 2008 at the Espace Saint-Martin, Paris, Les Elements is a program of twelve arias for string orchestra, horns and soloists. Divided into four parts, the themes are of course built on the theme of wind, air, fire and water. With this work I finally reached the form ideally resonating with my sensitivity as a singer, author and composer.
