Review & Description
Esquisse Torrobienne was written after a morning walk in the mountains around Mont St-Gregoire near where I live. This was during the fall of 2003, at a time when the colors on the trees looked like a majestic painting. As I neared the top of a mountain the first bars of this piece came to me with the melody dancing like a sound of victory. All those colors mixed together were a pure joy to see. -- The rest of the piece was completed a couple of weeks later when I recalled that scene. When I played the piece for some of my friends, it was obvious to them (as it was for me) that it was similar in style to the Spanish composer Federico Moreno Torroba. I have always found Torroba's music to be full of colors, like that fall scene, so the title Esquisse Torrobienne came to mind. -- Matin de Printemps (Spring Morning) was written in September-October 2005. This is not exactly the time of the year called Spring here in Quebec, but the piece is a reflection of joy for me, like a spring morning, where nature is waking and birds are beginning to sing again. It is a most magnificent and joyful time! -- That kind of joy can be heard in the E major section of the piece. It also reminds me of some old musical comedy from the 40's. In fact that was the first image that came to mind while writing that section. -- Matin de Printemps is my reflection on the joy of little things happening not only in Spring but in every day life. John Duarte was certainly an inspiration for the minor section of this piece, another composer for which I have great admiration. -- Pierre TremblayEsquisse Torrobienne was written after a morning walk in the mountains around Mont St-Gregoire near where I live.
