Commissioned by the sound festival for The Scottish Flute Trio. First performance: November 13 2008. Duff House Banff Scotland. In this work all three players in turn play each of the three instruments - piccolo flute and alto flute - thus giving a contrasted sound to match the character of the four linked movements: hence the title. Sleepy using all three alto flutes begins on the lowest note - G. The mood gradually changes as they introduce higher pitches and faster rhythms as they 'wake up'. In Lyrical a flute introduces the melody which is then shared by a second flute and later by the alto flute. With Mischievous the piccolos arrive on the scene. The first oneincites another piccolo and then the flute to join in. The tempo quickens and after a brief climax the mood quietens leading to Peaceful. In this last movement all three instruments are played. In turn they present a lyrical melody but in different keys so as to suit their individual tessituras.

Cette Méthode de Luth Baroque peut vous donner les bases techniques et musicales nécessaires à l?obtention d?une structure assez solide et complète du jeu du luth baroque. Et c?est là tout l?enjeu et le défi de l?écriture de cet ouvrage : donner, au plus grand nombre de passionnés, l?opportunité de s?exprimer à travers le luth baroque, et ce, indépendamment de leur niveau d?apprentissage. Notre livre est destiné non seulement à celui qui n?a jamais joué d?un instrument de musique, mais aussi au guitariste avisé qui veut s?initier aux mystères du luth baroque !

Mode d?emploi

Notre Méthode de Luth Baroque est divisée en trois parties.

La première partie, plutôt théorique, aidera à mieux comprendre la façon de jouer la musique écrite pour le luth baroque. Nous avons jugé indispensable d?avoir des connaissances élémentaires de solfège occidental mais aussi de la tablature (forme de notation musicale spécifique au luth). Ces connaissances, insuffisantes si étudiées de manière isolée, ont été enrichies d?un lexique des pièces instrumentales ainsi que de biographies de la plupart des compositeurs de musique pour luth baroque à 11 et 13 ch?urs.

En deuxième partie, nous avons dédié tout un chapitre à l?étude de la technique et de la production sonore du luth. Riche en photos et détails de toutes les étapes techniques que nous devrons franchir, ce chapitre est, sans aucun doute, le plus important de toute notre Méthode pour bien comprendre l?univers sonore du luth baroque ! Ensuite, nous vous proposons 21 exercices, tous d?un niveau élémentaire, mais progressifs, accompagnés de plusieurs pièces de musique. Vous allez d?abord jouer des mélodies pour ensuite ajouter les basses, et seulement après commencer à jouer les ornements.

En troisième partie, nous avons choisi près de 250 pièces pour luth baroque à 11 et 13 ch?urs. Ces pièces, divisées en trois niveaux, sont d?un degré de difficulté qui s?échelonne du niveau « débutant », « moyen » à « avancé ». Nous avons, tout comme à l?époque baroque, séparé ces pièces selon leurs tonalités et leur nom. Aussi, nous n?avons choisi que très peu de tonalités différentes, afin que le luthiste débutant puisse travailler l?essentiel de son instrument, au lieu de perdre son temps à essayer de s?accorder tout le temps et de jouer des morceaux bien trop complexes pour son niveau. Il n?y a pas de mauvaise musique mais, parfois, il y a de mauvais musiciens ! Faire de la musique n?est simplement pas jouer des notes et réaliser quelques acrobaties, souvent sans intérêt. Un musicien « mûr » se plaît le plus souvent à jouer une simple mélodie et à jouir des merveilles sonores de son instrument !

Nous espérons que cette méthode pourra aider ceux qui n?ont pas accès à un professeur (même si nous leur conseillons d?aller en voir un le plus régulièrement possible), mais aussi tous les professeurs n?ayant pas suffisamment de matériel pour faire travailler, d?une manière systématique, leurs élèves.
Bon courage à tous !
