Does your life seem to you like an endless whirl? Let a little music glide into it – it will accompany you during your workday as well as during your exterior activities. This series is designed for an active lifestyle.
Coffee Break
Your boss has asked you again to do the impossible? The baby’s crying is starting to weigh you down? Before admitting defeat and getting in a bad mood, use a proven stratagem. Remove yourself from your normal surroundings for an instant and discover the Spain of
Albeniz and the Italy of
Paganini, be charmed by a romance by
Mendelssohn or
Chopin and forget everything in the company of
Saint-Saëns and
Beethoven. The rest can wait…
Jazzy Car Ride
You’d like to take advantage of a sunny day to swallow up the miles and let yourself be inspired by the beauty of the landscape? Stuck in the middle of a traffic jam, you’re looking for a music selection so you can forget everything? This compilation will give you the chance to capture the various facets of jazz, from
Saint Louis Blues to the scat music of
Duke Ellington, from the hushed intimacy of
Hallelujah by
Leonard Cohen or of
Ville-Émard La Belle by
Alain Lefèvre to the effervescence of
Lorraine Desmarais’ big band. Undoubtedly you know, as in
Shirley Horn’s classic,
The Rules of the Road.
Dining
Music remains the soul of celebrations and composers have often maintained a particular relationship with the pleasure of the palate. It’s not just a fluke that expressions such as the piquancy of an orchestra, the flavor of a timbre or the mellowness of a tone often occur in the language of musicians, while fine gourmets refer to the perfection of a meal composed with a light touch, as one would speak of a symphony. This compilation, then, offers works drawn from chamber music repertoire, from
Mozart to
Dvořák to accompany your culinary creations, from the simplest to the most elaborate.
