In the autumn of 2017, Mathieu Laine submitted to me a text intended for children, The King Who Did Not Like Music, which he wanted me to transform into a musical tale. The version I then composed was for narrator, violin, cello, clarinet, and piano. We recorded it, Patrick Bruel, Renaud Capuçon, Edgar Moreau, Paul Meyer, and myself. It was published as a book-disc by Gallimard. The tale narrates the moods of a monarch with a jealous character reigning over a micro-society of four musicians to whom he gradually forbids playing their instruments, eventually forcing them into total silence. A period of desolation follows, but the arrival of a traveler and the advice of a fairy who suggests teaching the king to beat the drum will allow music to be reborn and the landscape to come alive again. My composition closely follows the storyline: serenity and gaiety gradually disturbed, a climate of melancholy, anxiety, and dejection, rebirth and regained liveliness. Wishing to respect the educational aim of this collection of book-discs, I presented at the beginning, instrument by instrument, the four subjects of the little kingdom. Although the piece was intended for a children's audience, I wanted a musical writing that pays tribute to the breathtaking technique of the three virtuoso instrumentalists and took pleasure in peppering it with all kinds of acrobatics: leaps, shifts, speed, rhythmic sways, extreme registers. Commissioned by the Saxo Voce ensemble, the present version is for narrator, saxophone quartet, and piano. It is not a new composition on Mathieu Laine's text, but an arrangement of the original version. It retains the acrobatic character and multiplies the musical challenges that these virtuoso saxophonists enjoy overcoming.
