Program notes:

L'Odysee des Vents is a work created to celebrate the diverse sounds and rich timbres of wind band. The ever-evolving musical narrative, constantly changing as it progresses, invites listeners on a journey, stirring their hearts with everything from majestic and grand landscapes to delicate, intimate sounds. Each moment becomes a place of exploration, and the listeners are invited to surrender themselves to the expanding textures of sound and shifting atmospheres.
In the performance, the expressive power and technique of each instrument are fully utilized, with solos appearing throughout to highlight the individuality of each instrument. These overlapping voices create depth in the music, and the ensemble as a whole generates a resonant and expansive sound. Furthermore, the percussion supports the rhythm's vibrancy and the vividness of the colors, infusing the music with life and dynamism.
Through the flowing shifts in tonality, dramatic developments, and subtle contrasts in sound, L'Odysee des Vents offers an immersive musical experience for both performers and audiences. It is hoped that each listener will freely interpret this music, riding the waves and undulations of sound, and paint their own unique story. Supported by the graceful yet powerful nature unique to wind ensembles, this musical journey is intended to resonate deeply with the hearts of those who listen.
