A choir setting on an original solo aria: it’s the crazy challenge of our "Arias be good" series (Les grands airs vous feront du bien).
Emmanuel Robin grabs these well-known opera arias and brings them to life in a new way.
The original works are not betrayed in any way, and the great success of these arrangements is the best evidence of this.
Six opuses are already available, rather for conductors and choirs who already have a fair amount of practice:
For less experienced choirs, the collection "Oser ... les grands arias d'opéra" (Dare to sing ... great opera arias) is based on the same principle, but takes into account the constraints of a group of beginners or average level: tessituras tightened, concern for vocal pleasure, themes distributed among all the voices, and accompaniments that are real counterpoint. To top it all off, a good pianist will get through his part without a struggle.
This collection in itself constitutes a "turnkey" programme for your next concert: 14 pieces, including an encore, which can be arranged and selected as you wish.
So don't hold back and go for it: opera is waiting for you!
