This work was commissioned by the Latvian choir Kamer within the framework of a large-scale project centered round the topic “the sun”. A poem by Paul de Brancion is interspersed with expressions and sayings taken from French folklore. The poetic text describing the contemporary anxiety that everything will be scorched by the sun as a result of global warming provides a response to popular opinion and cheerful idioms. The score is constructed like a descent into great depths, from the sunlight into darkness. The composition can also be combined with its sequel composition Au dessous des étoiles (Under the Stars) for mixed choir.Thierry Pécou
