"Offrir une version pour ensemble classique à la musique d'un groupe de rock électrique est un challenge. On pense à des réussites comme les orchestrations de Phil Spector, des Beach Boys ou du Andrew Loog Oldham Orchestra. Avec Denner, mon idée était d'utiliser la forme du lied, spécifique à la musique romantique allemande, pour réorchestrer de manière cohérente un album de « cold wave ».
Il me fallait en outre reprendre l'énergie du groupe pour l'insuffler à une écriture savante (musique écrite). Je me suis inspiré du cycle des Wesendonck Lieder de Wagner. Cela me permettait de trouver l'articulation entre musique populaire et musique savante. Sur le plan musical, plutôt que de reproduire les modes majeurs et mineurs présent dans les albums de Denner « Nouvelle-Bretagne » (2010) et « Drifting Canticles » (2017), j'ai choisi d'utiliser la modalité (musique modale), qui fait partie de ma signature de compositeur."

"Offering a classical music version of electric rock music is a real challenge. Success stories such as Phil Spector's orchestrations, the Beach Boys or the Andrew Loog Oldham Orchestra immediately come to mind. The idea with Denner was to use the form of the lied, which is typical of german romantic music and reorchestrate it to fit the standards of a cold wave album.
I had to channel the energy of the band and infuse it into a more academic approach of songwriting (written music). I was inspired by Wagner's Wesensdonck Lieder cycle. It helped me find the link between popular and scholarly music. On a musical level, instead of reproducing the major and minor modes which are present on Denner’s original albums "Nouvelle-Bretagne" (2010) and "Drifting Canticles" (2017), I used modal music which has always been part of my identity as a composer."

"Dreamless Tribulations"
by Denner

supported by 4 fans who also own “New York - Trebeurden - Minsk”

This is stellar. Uplifting melancholy, so sad at its core yet gorgeous melodies and a beautiful, sensitive voice that builds the bridge towards other delicate emotions. Just the right dose of bliss, wistfulness and hope. Comforting choruses. Great lyrics. Something to hold on to in these troubling times. Entleiber
