"A quoi rêvent les jeunes filles" - opus 106

This theater music was composed in 1957 for the work of Alfred de Musset. It presents the characterics of an overture, a divertissement and a serenade.
The score is convenient for a symphonic orchestra as the "Mozart" orchestra.
the orchestra of St-Claude (Jura-France) The Maestoso introduction brings a lyric atmosphere exposed by the beam of emotioning harmony and orchestration.
The Allegro Vivace is written following the genuine tradition of ballet music. The dynamism and the freshness of sounds reflect the feast exuberance and stylishness.
A short serenade comes inside this dance, as the announcement of a scene change, just before a brilliant conclusion, a moment of wizardry and comfort.

This magnificent work was executed on April 12th, 1997 in St-Claude (Jura-France) by a symphonic orchestra composed of professionnal musicians coming from the Region.
A numerous and enthusiastic public deeply acclaims this work, interpreted with spirit and conviction. The orchestra was conducted by Bernard Dupaquier, conductor, Director of the Conservatoire de Musique de St-Claude, André Amellér's student, and President of the Association for the Music of André Amellér.
The memory of the author joins his spiritual heritage to better reveal his presence.
An unforgettable concert which touches up the emotions holded in the music of André Amellér.
