Au coeur du Tibet (In the Heart of Tibet) was commissioned by the - then newly founded - Association for the development of saxophone. The members wanted to mark that event with several first performances given simultaneously in different cities of Switzerland, France and United States, which all were schedulded February 11, 2000. The piece starts with rhythms and finger drummings on the soundboard of the guitar. Then, within a long meditation, the heart starts to beat, interrupted by silences. The tension culminates into a sequence full of life and movements, followed by rhythmical noises on the saxophone keys accompanied by the gitarre, as a reminiscence of tibetan sounds: spoken words, ritual horn (Dung Chen) and a drum. And the heart is beating again. A tibetan singing bowl is ending the piece and I hope it will keep resonding for a long time... Caroline Charrière, July 2008.
