Elodie

The cycle of the seasons has been celebrated many times by composers, from Jean-Baptiste Lully (Ballet of the Seasons) to Alexander Glazunov, not forgetting Antonio Vivaldi and Joseph Haydn. In the 19 th century, composer-pianists such as Carl Czerny and Isaac Albéniz used the seasons as inspiration for keyboard pieces. Others imagined painting a little musical picture for each month of the year. This was the case for Fanny Hensel (the sister of Felix Mendelssohn) with Das Jahr (1841), for the French composer Charles-Valentin Alkan with Les Mois (1872) and for Tchaikovsky with his Seasons, which are undoubtedly the most famous of these musical calendars.

D'ombres… This program is a continuation of the first disc dedicated to Debussy's Études (CYP1678). This recording revealed pianist Elodie Vignon to the public.

From the Gaia Cycle Matrix. A work in UMI (Universal Mode Improvisation), a style created by Elodie Lauten, combining key signatures and ethnic modes as a basis for tonal, polytonal or atonal improvisations. Elodie Lauten has been described as a seminal figure, one of the leaders of the postminimalist movement (20th Century American Music, Schirmer, 1997), "a force on the experimental music scene" (Fanfare, Spring 98). Recordings have been released by o.o. Discs, Nonsequitur, Tellus, Polygram/Point, Lovely Music, Silenzio, Frog Peak and New Tone. Lauten has received awards from the National Endowment for the Arts, ASCAP, Meet the Composer, and commissions from Lincoln Center, The Soho Baroque Opera, The Queen's Chamber Band, The Lark Ascending, Elinor Coleman Dance Company, and David Hockney, to name a few.
