Following on the success of her two operatic works for children and teens ? Douce et Barbe Bleue, Les Fables Enchantees, Little Thummie and Cendrillon (based on Perrault), as well as the adaptation of Maupassant?s short story The Dumpling (2014) ? Isabelle Aboulker once again hits the bull?s eye with Myla and the Boat-Tree, a commission from the Villecroze Music Academy. In 2015, this musical tale for narrator, children?s choir and instrumental accompaniment, was awarded the ?Music for Young Performers Prize? by the French Music Publishers Association. Both in the French version and Marci Meth?s excellent English translation, it provides the material for an enthralling educational adventure in which children between the ages of five and eight are invited into their first experience of opera and choir singing. With her trademark finesse and sensitivity, the composer tells the story of a little girl dealing with the death of a person she?d cherished above all: her grandfather. Written for choir in unison, this tale wafts shimmering melodies over an instrumental accompaniment suffused in turn with gentle melancholy and light humour. An art that speaks from an open heart. The work was written in three versions:? for narrator, children?s choir and piano (AL 30 732)? for narrator, children?s choir and trio (clarinet in B b, cello and piano: AL 30 733)? for narrator, children?s choir and instrumental ensemble (flute, oboe, clarinet in B b, bassoon, horn, trumpet in C, trombone, percussion, 2 violins, alto, cello, bass: AL 30 734) Choral score: AL 30 743 .

“AL 30 757 ' French Music for Mixed Choir Those who love choral singing often lament not knowing how to go about finding, among the heaps of scores written for multiple singers, the rare gem whose discovery would intensify the enjoyment of singing together. What unknown treasure might bring a programme the touch of originality that makes it stand out? As the fruit of long and hard research on the subject, this anthology of French pieces for choir is one we hope will go down in history. The first section is made up of original works written for choral ensemble: Gabriel Fauré's Op. 35 Madrigal exhales a melancholy sensuality that is shared to some degree by Reynaldo Hahn's Rondels ' and within this Renaissance pastiche lies a real masterpiece, 'Gardez le trait de la fenêtre'. Le Ballet des ombres, written by a young Berlioz, drinks from the whimsical source of Romanticism (Herder). The second section assembles choral transcriptions of melodies ' such as Beau soir by Debussy and Deux Prières by Milhaud ' along with excellent arrangements like 'Choral inappétissant' extracted from Satie's piano in Sports et divertissements. A treasure trove of pure delight.&rdquo.

“AL 30 753 - MILA AND THE SHIP TREE - Version for piano For decades the French composer Isabelle Aboulker has been very successful with vocal works for children and young people, in whom well-known fairy tales are processed. Now she has once again met with Mila and the Schiffbaum, a work commissioned by the Académie musicale by Villecroze in the course of the project ”“3 composers write for the school”“, and by the French music publishers with the music prize 2015 in the category ”“ Works for young performers ”“. With this composition, Isabelle Aboulker has created a musical story for narrator, children's choir and instrumental accompaniment, which helps children between five and eight years in educational and valuable ways to gain first experiences with music theater and choral singing. Thanks to an excellent German translation, the successful work can now also be found in the German-speaking world. With the deep sensitivity and subtlety that is the secret of her art, Isabelle Aboulker tells of a little girl who succeeds in getting over the loss of a loved one, namely, his grandfather. The highly charming melodies of this piece, written for unanimous children's choir, are joined by an instrumental accompaniment in which tender melancholy and subtle humor alternate - this musical language comes directly from the heart. AL 30 754 - Choral Partitur (German and French text) The work is also available in English translation: AL 30 732 - version for speaker, children's choir and piano (French and English text) AL 30 743 - Choral Partitur (French and English text) As well as with other instrumental accompaniments: AL 30 733 - version for speaker, children's choir and trio (clarinet in B, cello and piano) (French and English text) AL 30 734 - version for spokesman, children's choir and instrumental ensemble (French, English, German, French, Italian, Italian)&rdquo.
