for female vocal quintet and piano (12 p) on a poem by Jean-Pierre Boulic
Jean-René André is titular organist and music coordinator at Rennes Cathedral. Within the framework of the Centre d'Art Choral de Rennes, he works as an accompanist and organ teacher. The liturgy and sacred texts as well as his native Brittany (in particular thanks to a fruitful collaboration with Jean-Pierre Boulic) are the main sources of inspiration for his composing activity.
Jean-Pierre Boulic lives in the Pays d'Iroise in North Finistère. His work has been distinguished on several occasions, notably in 2010 by the Grand Prix de poésie Louis Montalte of the Société des Gens de lettres and in 2014 by the Yves Cosson poetry prize of the literary academy of Brittany and Pays de la Loire. He is also the author of several booklets of cantatas composed in recent years in Brittany.
