Concert at the church - Les Chantefleurs - Full Petal Packret

...What if flowers were sung to you? The "Full Petal Packret" invite you to (re)discover Jean Wiener's "Chantefleurs", short French melodies based on texts by Robert Desnos.

Marie sings in her most lyrical or whispered voice, François blows notes on flute, saxophone and clarinet, while Michel plucks petals from the strings of his double bass. Playing to the rhythm of the flowers, the trio rearranges the melodies and invites you to take an improvised stroll among these sung flowers. The belle de nuit, the buttercup, the buttercup... will enchant you with their springtime scents! A lyrical voice blossoming on a bed of purring bass, wrapped in the convolutions of windy aerophones, the whole taking as its target for its sagacious, verdant improvisations a repertoire from another time, singing with mischief the outdated beauty of our little flowers of the fields... That's the inter-floral theme of this unique trio, who cross, transgress and merrily unite the lexical "songs" of music of all kinds and ages, without forgetting to confound clichés and debunk received ideas. So are our arrangements disturbing? Enthusiastic. Playful, invigorating, like a drop of rain on a passion flower.
