Description

Setting of the poem by Jean de La Fontaine about the cicada and the ant (often translated into English as "the grasshopper and the ant")- the three musicians each speak lines of the poem while they are not actually playing (or in the case of the pianist, where s/he is just playing a simple chord). The pianist is the narrator, the clarinetist is the ant and the bassoonist is the cicada.

This has been composed for the bassoonist Franck Leblois with a view to being performed at the 2011 festival "Fou de Basson" in Angoulême, but I am publishing it here this year (2010) as a preview, partly because other settings of this piece using an English language version will also shortly be released here on MyScoreStore.

The audio sample was recorded by the composer (electronic preview with spoken words).

The zip file contains the score and parts.
