Li Muesative de l’Efzeyeu
Li Muesative de l’Efzeyeu is a commissioned work by the association Carillon VS for mixed choir, brass band, and carillon (more specifically, the carillon of the Church of Liddes), created as part of the Carillon project initiated by Elie Darbellay.
The Carillon project aimed, firstly, to present the carillon not through the lens of its traditional function (marking the hours and calling to prayer), but as a fully-fledged musical instrument. Secondly, the project had a strong community-driven dimension, bringing together a significant number of singers and instrumentalists from Liddes.
The composition is structured around a poem by Victorien Darbellay (1862–1928), dating from the early twentieth century. The text is written in the patois of Liddes, a Franco-Provençal dialect that was spoken by the entire population of Liddes until the 1930s.
The poem expresses the point of view of a grain thresher and depicts the specific characteristics of agricultural work in Liddes at the beginning of the twentieth century.
In the introduction to this musical setting, the resonating sound of the bells gradually allows the listener to enter the mind of the grain thresher.

Jeune Garde Landwehr – E-fondue
All musical projects are difficult because of the sanitary restrictions due to COVID-19. However, thanks to two assistants, Gauthier Dupertuis and Antonio Nuciforo, and myself, the JGL created “little groups” to be able to play together anyway.
Trios, quatuors, quintets or little bands (less than 16 years old) rehearsed in the Henri Renevey’s room, every Tuesday during this spring. One of the major goals of the season was the support fondue. With this event in sight, the rehearsals began to finally record the performances which were broadcasted during the JGL “e-Fondue” event, on the 17th April 2021.
