"An account of a man's last agonizing moments, Danielle Palardy Roger's Bruiducœur is a secular ritual involving three characters: Him, who is dying; Her, the ironic observer; the Choir and Soloists, empathic and omnipresent. Written for a 13-voice mixed choir (conducted from the inside), two speakers, two soloists, and two percussionists, this satirical elegy in 13 tableaux follows the oratorio form and brings together sung, proclaimed and chanted poetry, composition and improvisation. Sitting at the heart of this work, phonetic articulation and vocalism carry the meanings and express the feelings."-Ambiances Magnetiques
