Florentine Mulsant

Après l'aube pour flûte op. 110

The work, lasting 6 mn, was composed in September 2021. It was written for Sister Marie Laetitia, a Clarisse nun at the Monastery of Ronchamp. Two pieces are offered.

The first one, lasting 2 minutes, gives a time of contemplation during the offertory. The second piece, lasting 4 minutes, is intended to accompany communion in a melodic and serene atmosphere.

During a music festival at the Chapelle de Ronchamp, built by the architect Le Corbusier, I discovered the monastery where the Clares sisters live, located below the Chapel. Renzo Piano is the designer. The building is highly spiritual and leads to contemplation. It was there that I met the sisters and Marie Laetitia who asked me to write pieces for her instrument and to illustrate two moments of their prayers in particular.
