En 2007 Dirk Brossé compose Il Signor Brossini (Monsieur Brossini) à l’occasion du 70e anniversaire de son père. Il fait de la mélodie du célébrissime Happy Birthday (Joyeux anniversaire) le fil conducteur de son œuvre. Divers petits fragments successifs brossent le caractère de “Monsieur Brossini” : tantôt héroïque tantôt impressionniste et romantique parfois passionné et fougueux mais aussi fragile et émouvant et toujours avec humour.La mélodie de la chanson Happy Birthday a été composée par deux sœurs américaines Patty et Mildred J. Hill en 1893 lorsqu’elles enseignaient à Louisville dans le Kentucky. En 1990 cette mélodie fut vendueaux éditions Warner Chappell pour la coquette somme de quinze millions de dollars.D’après le Livre Guinness des Records Happy Birthday est l’air le plus chanté de tous les temps. Les orchestrations sont multiples et couvrent une pléiade de combinaisons instrumentales. Quant au texte il a été traduit dans presque toutes les langues. Si le titre Il Signor Brossini fait référence au brillant compositeur italien Gioacchino Rossini il rappelle également les origines italiennes de la famille Brossé.

A fantastic collection of traditional English Carols that are sure to be enjoyed over and over again.

At the Lake (“Sur les bords du lac”) d’Itaru Sakai raconte une légende japonaise. La musique est aérienne et mystérieuse à l’image de l’histoire qu’elle illustre.Il était une fois dans la lumière pâle du petit matin un jeune homme prénommé Innove. Alors qu’il longeait le lac il entendit une mystérieuse voix féminine : « La princesse Eugemaille est emprisonnée dans le château d’un scélérat du nom de Jesse. Elle a besoin de ton aide. Ne perds pas de temps pars immédiatement. ». Touché par cette voix inspirante Innove se mit en chemin vers le château de Jesse situé à l’extrémité nord du lac dans un décor de falaises impressionnant. Un vent tourbillonnant une pluietorrentielle et des éclairs aveuglants s’abattaient sur lui quand soudain la même voix se fit encore entendre. C’était la voix de Kai l’esprit du lac. Presque aussitôt le vent cessa de souffler et la pluie s’arrêta de tomber. Le sinistre château de Jesse se détachait des rochers.Chaque jour la princesse captive chantait sa tristesse. Plusieurs fois elle avait tenté de fuir mais en vain elle fut aussitôt reprise. Innove pénétra dans le château en compagnie de Kai. Commençait alors un terrible combat contre Jesse et ses serviteurs. Désemparée Eugemaille regardait Innove se battre désespérément. Kai ordonna à la tempête de se lever. Un vent tourbillonnant une pluie torrentielle et des éclairs aveuglants se déchaînèrent sur le château. Jesse et ses serviteurs furent engloutis par la tempête furieuse. Ils disparurent à jamais. La tempête se calma. Exténué par la lutte Innove se coucha. Eugemaille et Kai étaient à ses côtés. La princesse tomba éperdument amoureuse de celui qui avait si vaillamment combattu Jesse pour la délivrer. Kai s’éprit aussi d’Innove mais l’esprit du lac doit veiller sur le lac et protéger le bonheur des gens. Kai ne peut aimer Innove. Inconsolable elle retourna au lac.Au lever du jour Eugemaille et Innove se réveillèrent. Le lac scintillait de mille éclats de lumière dans le soleil du matin. La voix de Kai

Situated just above the Polar Circle Troms? is one of Norway's northernmost towns. Topographically the town probably comes across as freezing cold but Troms? is famous for its 'warm' night-life.
