Sonatas and quartets aren't my thing. Armed with this self-knowledge, composer Isabelle Aboulker placed singing at the heart of her creative activity and garnered huge success in a variety of genres such as oratorio (The Man who Staggered Through War, 1997), comic opera (Monsieur de Balzac fait son theatre, 1999), childrens tales (Douce et Barbe Bleue, 2002) and the theatrical adaptationof narrative works (Une fille quon appelle Boule de suif, 2014). Isabelle Aboulker also devotes much attention to melody, as can be seen in this collection presenting a few of her most enchanting successes. Her prosodic clarity and focus on the power of words crystallises a musical legacy that stretches from Rameau to Poulenc.This anthology of melodies for voice and piano - most of which are written for all voices - is delightfully eclectic: the melancholyperfume of the Lettre damour sits beside the unnerving eeriness of the merchant of souls (Au marche de Saint-Paul), while the limpid music of the La Fontaines Fables contrasts with the fever that animates Je taime, a passionate vocalise dedicated to Patritica Petibon. A subtle, sensitive art that enchants all who lend an ear.

“Following on the success of her two operatic works for children and teens ' Douce et Barbe Bleue, Les Fables Enchantées, 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 &rdquo.
