Summary of This Score
The duo "Mi Ombre Mi Soleil" brings together two musical worlds separated by more than 400 years of history, blending the momentum of traditional music with the rhythmic and melodic finesse of Renaissance dance suites. Sigrid Guillaume, an accordionist passionate about traditional dance, and Solène Riot, a tambourinaire specialized in this ancient repertoire, offer a unique sonic encounter where the writing primarily serves movement.
From this project arose the desire to arrange Sigrid's compositions for cornet à bouquin and flûte tambourine. The music is designed for the dance: it supports couple dancing with singing melodic lines, a clear pulse, and a sense of rhythmic relief that encourages both listening and practice. The repertoire also opens up to new forms derived from contemporary dance events, notably the mazurka in 5 and 8 beats, enriching the possibilities for playing and dancing.
A significant part is left to improvisation, within a freer aesthetic that can evoke jazz through the work on variations, ornaments, call-and-response between voices, and phrasing. This approach makes the score particularly stimulating for musicians who wish to develop their interpretation, their sense of accompanying the dance, and their creativity within a duo with a sound as rare as it is expressive.
