Carnav'jazz des animaux

Musical tale for children's choir "Carnav'Jazz des animaux" by Pierre-Gérard Verny, based on the work of Camille Saint-Saëns. King Lion, who fell in ecstasy as a child listening to the jazz bursts he heard when he passed Preservation Hall in New Orleans, has only had one dream since then: to open his own jazz club on the mythical 52nd Street in Manhattan. Fate unexpectedly provides him with the necessary funds and he sets out in search of a jazz band that he dreams of being a big band. He sends various animals of his acquaintance to set up his project (even if Reggaéléphant, the big boss of the milieu, imposes Siréna, his protégée, as a singer). King Lion will also have to beware of a few pitfalls sown by jealous rivals, but it ends with the inauguration of the Carnav'Jazz Club of the Animals, all told by a first-person narrator (the pianist, the band leader) and punctuated by numerous dialogues. Le Carnav'Jazz des Animaux is a musical tale for cycle 3 (8 to 11 years old), based on the work of Camille Saint Saëns : Le Carnaval de Animaux. The work is entirely re-composed and sung pieces are created from each of the themes of the original work. The musical language is entirely based on the jazz idiom or assimilated (Swing, Ballad, Bossa nova, Samba, Salsa, Reggae ternary etc.) The arrangements by Pierre-Gérard VERNY, for choir and quintet (jazz trio + flute and clarinet or alto saxophone and tenor saxophone) or choir and piano, are set in a thrilling story, written by Thierry PAUPE, involving the various animals. The pedagogical use is very rich and the structure also allows to detach some numbers. The lyrics of the songs were written by Pierre-Gérard VERNY, Fanja RAHAJASON, Olivier HOUSER, Laure JAUBERT. A real musical, whose work will be facilitated by the CD (sold separately) including the files voice by voice, playbacks and complete realization, the whole interpreted and mastered by a professional studio. - Total = 1 hour 16 minutes / texts only = 40'50 - musics only = 35'25
