The suggestive title The La Forêt enchantée [The Magic Forest] came to mind by chance and the subtitles spontaneously followed : 1. Par un matin [by one morning] 2. Dans le lointain, elfes et lutins [In the distance: elfs and goblins] 3. Les heures heureuses [The Happy Hours].
I don’t know precisely why I wanted to propose a fairy-like world: was it due to the harp sounds? or was it a personal need?
The first movement depicts the scenery: a forest on a quiet morning, but in the middle of the movement some mysterious signs are beginning to appear .
The second movement provides confirmation: elfs and goblins gather together excitedly and intervene, one after the other.
The third movement returns to the calming atmosphere of the morning, and the happy hours pass with the fullness of nature.
Caroline Charrière, April 2007, Fribourg, Switzerland
Notice for performers:
The harmonics sound one octave higher. The note in diamond form determines which string has to be touched, but the sound effect appears one octave higher.
