International News
Did youknow that there isanew versionof the IPAhymn?
Last year,
International President, PierreMartin-Moulin, askedGuillaumeMoix, a
youngand very successful pianist, to comeupwith twopiano versions of
the IPAhymn.
Guillaumewas givena freehand to realisehis ideas. He said,
“Regarding the
way I came to compose the jazz version, I startedby learning the classical
versionby heart inorder tohave theharmonic structureof thepiece inmy
head. I thenput swing into the rhythmandaccelerated the tempo, whilegiving
free reign tomy imagination. Then, once themain ideas of thepiecewere
there, I practiced the same version several times inorder togain clarity and
confidence in the sequenceof themusic. I have toadmit that I hada lot of fun.”
