Soleil Luisant was written for the French ensemble 'Aleph' and benefits from the diversity of their instrumentation. Included are the voice, contrabass clarinet, cello, accordion, percussion and piano. The text comes from the 15th century French prince and poet Charles d'Orleans. His life story reads like a soap opera. In three movements, the first line of each poem can be translated as: The weather has left its coat, There is no point in having an unhappy heart and In winter the fire, fire. The score includes written and spatial notation. The last movement is basically a tavern song. The duration is 7'30. This is a manuscript score, thus the reduced price.
Soleil Luisant was premiered by the Ensemble Aleph at the Theatre Dunois, Paris, France on December 9, 1996.
