Works for flute
Flute solo
Les sept secrets du poète
(flute - piano)
[see thematic trail]
Published in 1989, these 7 pieces were commissioned by Schott Frères edition.
The late Pierre Paubon, reknowned flautist and great friend of the two composers
knew from his precious advice how to give this work a widespread
distribution, which has never slackened. It has become a reference
for the FFEM commission on several occasions. The last work, The Cornish
bird
[extract supra], is a unique composition where the writings of both composers are mixed together in perfect
harmony! This is the preface by Pierre Paubon :
Les sept secrets du poète (The poet’s seven secrets) enthralled me right from the first reading.
These pieces are as simple as wild flowers where you discover the delicacy and beauty under a magnifying glass.
Such heartfelt music is for talented flautists as well as their students. The first express
their joy with comfort during a concert, while the latter look for the suitable musical expression without technical difficulty.

Chanson celtique
(flute - piano)
Published in 1988, this piece which is reminiscent and haunting through its typically Celtic colours, was very successful right from its release, really taking its place in the wide repertoire of flautists. Played throughout Europe, it has often been imposed by the FFEM in various music exams. It is interesting to remark that its original version was written for piano alone.

Jazz en famille

[see thematic trail]
This volume published in 1991 consists of 4 pieces which are particularly playful, emitting swing and humour which incite the practice of music within a group. You can also notice a certain tendancy towards jazz. 'Jazz en famille' (Jazz in the family) has been imposed in several exams, particularly the Bellan and Epinal exams.

Formation
Trois abeilles pour ma ruche
(flute - guitar - cello)
This simple and lilting trio, published in 1994, in three movements,remains a example of style by the equal distribution of the melody and the accompaniment for each instrument, thereby perfectly corresponding to the definition of "chamber music". This heartfelt work continues its progression, by word of mouth in the musical world : music schools and individuals who want to have a moment of pleasure, various formations etc.
