Hi all !
Here's " La chanson de l'eau ", song of water.
Water travels from streams to oceans......

1) Ecoute le chant de cette eau claire
qui coule sagement vers la rivière.
Ce petit ruisseau fredonne un air
que j'aime bien.
Toi aussi, tu l'aimeras la chanson de l'eau.
2) Ecoute le chant de la rivière
qui coule fièrement droit vers la mer.
Ce fleuve imposant fredonne un air
que j'aime bien.
Toi aussi, tu l'aimeras la chanson de l'eau.
3) Ecoute le chant de l'océan.
Est-ce que tu entends son balancement ?
La mer dans le vent fredonne un air
que j'aime bien.
Toi aussi, tu l'aimeras la chanson de l'eau.

Rough translation...
Listen to the song of this clear water
Which flows wisely towards the river.
This little brook hums an air
That I like well
You will love the water song too.

Flowing proudly straight to the sea.

Listen to the song of the ocean.
Do you hear her swaying?

Lovely stuff.


Cheers

Really nice work here! A nice, relaxed, easy to take song. And thanks rayc for the translation - those are really lovely lyrics indeed smile The backing tracks fit perfectly too, and the vocal performance is strong and distinct.

Thanks for sharing!

Ha, you won me as soon as I connected with the time signature.

You have masterfully created a song that has a perfect 'Made In France' label stamped all over it.

I also loved the connection of the different measures that water takes on its journey. Nice.

I really like this song! Even if it didn't have French lyrics I would have recognized it as a French song just from the arrangement that was chosen. You did a really great job. Thanks for sharing!

Hello, Chris

Really nice chanson.
The melody is very beautiful.
It is reminiscent of Georges Brassans and Marcel Mouloudji.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Very nice Chris, I must think of Georges Moustaki. Beautiful arangements. Very poetic.

Thanks for your comments Scott, Shigeki, Alan and Rob !
Georges Brassens is my favorite singer. I like too Mouloudji's melancholic voice and Moustaki's sweet voice. Christian

Thoroughly enjoyed this! So authentic to the style, with a simple yet thoughtful lyrical message. I couldn't suggest a single Improvement in this, I thought everything was perfect. Well done!

Sweet & melodic, with a touch of melancholy - just pure bliss to the ear! cool

p.s. I actually feel that for some music it helps more than hurts not understanding the words (if that makes any sense), this being a prime example right here.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
