It was premiered in April of 2018 by Mr. Chassain at a Winnipeg Classical Guitar Society concert in Winnipeg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eL'oiseau sur un rocher\u003c\/em\u003e, the composer is inspired by the observation of a cormorant on a hot summer's day.This beautiful bird is cleaning itself on a rock along the gigantic Lake Winnipeg. The music attempts to imitate this process as it unfolds. The music through its fluctuating tempos, metric changes and quick trills help to visualize the cormorant's every move. The 6th string of the guitar is tuned up to F and, along with the open B, brings out the modal quality of the music. Quartal and quintal harmonies reestablish the main theme of the piece. A tremolo section follows and evokes a sense of nostalgia and even urgency vis-à-vis man's responsibility towards the environment. The piece ends with the introduction of a new theme which announces the next movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eL'envol\u003c\/em\u003e, the second movement of the Suite, attempts to depict the take off, flight and landing of the cormorant. The piece starts with the introduction of the same theme alluded to in the last movement but at a brisk tempo. A declamato pesante section follows personifying the take off of our bird. The piece evolves with a fast arpeggiated section reminiscent of Leo Brouwer's music. The main theme returns transposed and a new declamato section reappears as the landing of the bird is depicted rhythmically. The Lento section with its harmonics and cantabile melody ends in calm and serenity, bringing the story to a natural close.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Les Productions d'OZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43545489145935,"sku":"DZ4482","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/c017765833e57fc3c0a42686b40ef5bd.jpg?v=1756234379"},{"product_id":"michaud-fatal-cold-swim-oz","title":"Michaud: Fatal Cold Swim","description":"\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/pt\/collections\/guy-michaud\"\u003eGuy Michaud\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Score \u0026amp; Set of Parts - \u003ca href=\"\/pt\/pages\/format-descriptions\"\u003eFormat guide\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eInstrumentation\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"edition-instrumentation\"\u003eFlute, Viola, Guitar\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"binding hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-barcode\"\u003e9782898525148\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-width\"\u003e8.9\u003c\/span\u003e x \u003cspan class=\"book-length\"\u003e12.0\u003c\/span\u003e inches\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"book-pages hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages\u003c\/strong\u003e: None\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"one-half columns\"\u003e \u003ch4\u003eDescription\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"feature_divider\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFatal Cold Swim\u003c\/em\u003e is a trio scored for guitar, flute and viola. It is an elegy meant to commemorate the life of a close relative of the composer who died tragically in the waters of the Pacific Ocean. The trio is in ABA' form. It starts with a haunting melody played by the flute and echoed by the viola's counter melody, equally as heart wrenching. A faster Andante section follows with familiar material being reworked and varied. This is followed by a short but harmonically charged cadenza played by the guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mood of the piece then changes and we are introduced to a bright lively theme in the Presto section. This section is meant to personnify the joyful and full of life character of our subject. It is short lived as we are sooner back into the sad atmosphere of the opening theme, this time played by the viola. Here the rich harmonies of the guitar add tension to the piece. The tremolo of the guitar along with the incessant trills of the viola bring the piece to a tragic end. We are left with three fading notes played by the viola.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Les Productions d'OZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45881049710671,"sku":"DZ4597","price":17.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/bf4febb90d630a3b003f35275b1b9f51.jpg?v=1781737462"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/pt\/collections\/guy-michaud.oembed","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
