Comme d\u2019habitude, les photos n\u2019ont rien \u00e0 voir avec le sujet, car je ne souhaite pas d\u00e9ranger les artistes par les clic-clac du r\u00e9flex, ou, pire encore, les aveugler avec les flashes. Vous verrez donc les images d\u2019une belle rando que Paul et moi avons faite le 20 d\u00e9cembre sur le \u201csentier des bigues\u201d, les bigues \u00e9tant des piliers en pierre.
\nAs usual, the pictures have nothing to do with the subject, because I don’t want to disturb the artists with the click-clack of the SLR, or, worse, with blinding flashes. So you’ll see pictures of a beautiful hike that Paul and I have had on December 20 on the \u00ab\u00a0sentier des bigues\u00a0\u00bb, the \u00ab\u00a0bigues\u00a0\u00bb being stone pillars.<\/strong>

Voil\u00e0 deux ans que je prends des cours de chant avec Margot<\/a>.
\nL\u2019exp\u00e9rience consistant \u00e0 ma\u00eetriser cet instrument qui est en nous est tr\u00e8s difficile.
\nMargot me voit patauger et douter, mais elle m\u2019a toujours encourag\u00e9e.
\nMargot<\/a> teaches me how to sing since two years.<\/strong>
\nThe experiment of mastering this instrument that is in us is very difficult.<\/strong>
\nMargot sees me wade and doubt, but she always encourages me.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Il fallait bien qu\u2019un jour, ce soit son tour de donner un concert chez nous.
\nCe fut un vendredi, le troisi\u00e8me et dernier spectacle de l\u2019ann\u00e9e, et, \u00e0 raison de trois par an, le neuvi\u00e8me spectacle depuis le d\u00e9but. Nous tenons un rythme r\u00e9gulier, m\u00eame si cette ann\u00e9e les dates ont \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9parties bizarrement\u00a0: mai, novembre et d\u00e9cembre…
\nAvant l\u2019arriv\u00e9e des artistes, Paul et moi proc\u00e9dons aux pr\u00e9paratifs selon un rituel d\u00e9sormais bien rod\u00e9.
\nEt quand Margot et Pierre, puis plus tard Guillaume et Jordan, investissent les lieux, nous sommes \u00e0 leur disposition au besoin. Mais, \u00e0 l\u2019inverse d\u2019autres artistes, ils sont bien \u00e9quip\u00e9s et n\u2019ont rien oubli\u00e9\u00a0! Nous nous installons \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9tage en-dessus o\u00f9 des sonorit\u00e9s jazzy nous rejoignent bient\u00f4t.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nFor a long time I planned to invite Margot for a concert in our home.<\/strong>
\nIt was a Friday, the third and final show of the year, and with three per year, the ninth show from the beginning. We continue to organize regularly<\/strong> three shows a year, although this year the dates were distributed oddly: May, November and December …<\/strong>
\nBefore the arrival of artists, Paul and I are doing the preparations according to a now well-established ritual.<\/strong>
\nWhen Margot and Pierre, and later Guillaume and Jordan, are investing the place, we are available to them as needed. But, unlike other artists, they are well equipped and have forgotten nothing! We settle to the floor above where jazzy sounds join us soon.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Plus tard, le concert commence.
\nIl s\u2019agit de \u201cPierrot<\/a> lunaire\u201d, bas\u00e9 sur des textes d\u2019Albert Giraud, un po\u00e8te symboliste belge de la fin du dix-neuvi\u00e8me si\u00e8cle mort en 1929.
\nLater, the concert begins.<\/strong>
\nIt\u2019s \u201cPierrot<\/a> Lunaire\u201d, based on Albert Giraud\u2019s texts – a Belgian symbolist poet of the late nineteenth century, who died in 1929.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

C\u2019est la premi\u00e8re fois que quatre personnes se partagent le petit espace sc\u00e9nique\u00a0: Margot, qui chante ou parle les textes, Guillaume Charvet, \u00e0 la clarinette ou au saxophone, Jordan Nambotin \u00e0 la contrebasse, et enfin Pierre-Oliver Gallice, guitariste, il chante aussi les ch\u0153urs et surtout il est le compositeur de toutes les musiques que nous allons d\u00e9guster.
\nIt’s the first time when four people share the small stage space: Margot, who sings or speaks the text, Guillaume Charvet, who plays clarinet or saxophone, Jordan Nambotin who plays bass, and finally Pierre-Oliver Gallice who plays guitar and who also sings backing vocals and above all is the composer of all the music that we will enjoy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ce n\u2019est pas un spectacle facile \u00e0 appr\u00e9cier, au contraire il demande un effort de concentration. Je suis all\u00e9e lire les textes d\u2019Albert Giraud, et je les trouve difficiles \u00e0 aborder\u00a0: j\u2019exprime toute mon admiration au groupe qui en a pris possession, s\u2019en est impr\u00e9gn\u00e9, et nous a restitu\u00e9 ce beau concert. Les textes \u00e9tant un peu herm\u00e9tiques, il fallait beaucoup de talent rien que pour leur donner de la vie et du sens.
\nAu d\u00e9but du spectacle, Pierre conseille de ne pas chercher \u00e0 comprendre\u00a0: sage pr\u00e9caution.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThis is not a show easy to enjoy, instead it requires an effort of concentration. I went to read Albert Giraud\u2019s texts, and it\u2019s difficult to appreciate them: I tell how I admire those who took possession of them, who had been impregnated, and who restored this beautiful concert. The text being a bit hermetic, a great talent was necessary just to give them life and meaning.<\/strong>
\nAt the beginning of the show, Pierre advises not to try to understand: wise precaution.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00ab L’histoire que nous allons vous raconter se d\u00e9roule par les frileux soirs de D\u00e9cembre. C’est l’histoire de Pierrot, de la race des r\u00eaveurs, des songe-creux, et de ceux qui, n\u00e9s sous le signe de Saturne, ont un lever d’\u00e9toile en leur coeur taciturne…\u00a0\u00bb
\nC\u2019est po\u00e9tique, \u00e9sot\u00e9rique, surr\u00e9aliste…
\nIl y est question principalement de lune, de rayon de lune. Et de Pierrot.
\nOn peut ainsi s\u2019adonner \u00e0 la r\u00eaverie, se laisser porter. La musique plane et nous fait planer.
\nPour ma part, j\u2019appr\u00e9cie mieux les morceaux que j\u2019ai d\u00e9j\u00e0 \u00e9cout\u00e9s plusieurs fois.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n\u00ab The story we will tell you is held by the chilly evening of December. This is the story of Pierrot, of the race of dreamers, dreamers, and those born under the sign of Saturn, who have a star up in their taciturn heart … \u00bb<\/strong>
\nIt is poetic, esoteric, surreal …<\/strong>
\nIt’s above all about the moon, moonbeam. And about Pierrot.<\/strong>
\nOne can thus indulge into reverie, let oneself go. The music flies and makes us dream.<\/strong>
\nFor my part, I better appreciate the pieces I’ve heard several times.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Les trois musiciens jouent parfois en solo, parfois ensemble.
\nLa contrebasse et la guitare ont des phrases musicales tr\u00e8s proches\u00a0: en regardant la contrebasse, on peut entendre la guitare comme si c\u2019\u00e9tait le son de celle-ci qui sortait de celle-l\u00e0. Je trouve tr\u00e8s amusant de m\u2019abandonner \u00e0 cette illusion.
\nThe three musicians sometimes play solo, sometimes together.<\/strong>
\nBass and guitar have very similar musical phrases: watching the bass, the guitar can be heard as if\u00a0 the sound of this one is coming out from that one. I like to give up myself to this illusion.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

C\u2019est la deuxi\u00e8me fois que Margot, Pierre, Guillaume et Jordan donnent cette repr\u00e9sentation. Ils jouent sans partition, Margot chante sans le moindre pense-b\u00eate\u00a0: le public ne leur en voudra pas du tout d\u2019avoir oubli\u00e9 un morceau qu\u2019ils pr\u00e9senteront \u00e0 la fin.
\nAu contraire plusieurs personnes me feront la m\u00eame r\u00e9flexion admirative sur ce remarquable travail de m\u00e9morisation.
\nThis is the second time when Margot, Pierre, Guillaume and Jordan give this show. They play without partition, Margot sings without any reminder: the public will not be angry because they forget a piece they will present at the end.<\/strong>
\nUnlike many people will tell me how they admire this remarkable memory work.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Je regrette – mais juste un peu – qu\u2019il n\u2019y ait pas une plus grande place au chant, juste pour \u00e9couter la belle voix de Margot.
\nMais ne boudons pas notre plaisir\u00a0: il y a alternance de textes parl\u00e9s et chant\u00e9s et d\u2019instrumentaux. Les compositions sont vraiment tr\u00e8s belles. Je vous ai donn\u00e9 le lien pour le site de Margot, et celui de la bande annonce de Pierrot lunaire\u00a0: n\u2019h\u00e9sitez pas \u00e0 les \u00e9couter encore et encore, c\u2019est de la vraie belle bonne musique, on peut s\u2019y abandonner \u00e0 loisir.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI regret – but just a little bit – there is no more room on vocals, just to listen to the beautiful voice of Margot.<\/strong>
\nBut do not spoil our fun: there are alternately spoken and sung texts and instrumentals. The compositions are really beautiful. I gave you the link to Margot’s site<\/strong>, and to the trailer of Pierrot Lunaire: please listen to again and again, that’s real nice good music, you would give up leisure.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tout a une fin, et Pierrot se rendort bient\u00f4t en attendant sa prochaine escapade.
\nEverything has an end, and Pierrot falls asleep soon until its next getaway.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nous poussons les chaises sur le c\u00f4t\u00e9 puis nous tirons la table au milieu avant de la couvrir de victuailles.
\nWe push the chairs to the side and then we take the table in the middle before covering with food.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Encore un beau spectacle, encore une belle et bonne soir\u00e9e. C\u2019est devenu un rite incontournable et mon calendrier pour 2016 est d\u00e9j\u00e0 bien fourni…
\nStill a good show, still a beautiful and good evening. It has become an essential rite and my calendar for 2016 is already well supplied …<\/strong><\/p>\n

Je laisse la parole \u00e0 Albert Giraud avec un texte choisi un peu au hasard (que je ne me risque pas \u00e0 traduire, dommage pour les lecteurs anglophones\u00a0!)\u00a0:
\nI let Albert Giraud speaking with a text chosen somewhat at random (that I will not venture to translate, alas for English readers!):<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

La lanterne<\/p>\n

La claire et joyeuse lanterne
\nO\u00f9 vibre une langue de feu.
\nPierrot la porte au bout d\u2019un pieu
\nPour ne pas choir dans la citerne.<\/p>\n

A tout coin de rue il lanterne
\nEt sur le sol d\u00e9pose un peu
\nLa claire et joyeuse lanterne
\nO\u00f9 vibre une langue de feu.<\/p>\n

Il ne la voit plus, \u2014 se prosterne,
\nAllume le petit point bleu
\nDe son allumette, et, par jeu,
\nCherche d\u2019un geste qui consterne
\nLa claire et joyeuse lanterne.<\/p>\n
