Duration : 15′
Pedagogical work performed by non-musical students, supervised by Les Percussions de Strasbourg according to the Percustra pedagogy.
“This project was born from an old memory”, explains Philippe Manoury, “The Percussions de Strasbourg asked me, more than thirty years ago, to write a work for amateurs using their Percustra notation system, a system that allows you to play percussion without having learned solfeggio. (…) It is only recently that I remembered that this method could very well be brought up to date again and I then proposed to set up a project aimed at involving young people (high school students) by having them play music for percussion using this method.”
