Canadian composer Francois Morel- Deux Etudes de Sonorite

on: May 25, 2005, 04:25:04 AM

Anyone played his 2 etudes de Sonorite?

I recall playing the 2nd one back in the day for my RCM grade 10? exam I think, and was looking back at the scores today, and much mroe impressed with now than i was then. This guy's compositional techniques, (( ireally know littel about him), are awesome..kind of a Canadian Ravel, but the voice is all Morel...any other pieces you know by him you would recommend I listen too? Does he have any Sonatas? concertos? preludes? etc.

My teacher offered for me to learn them after she played them at a faculty recital last year some time. Though I really liked them, I decided to focus on different repetoire. I really like how he used very jazz sounding harmonies and stuff along with all the 20th century techniques it's very effective. If I ever get my hands on the music again, I want to learn them :-)
