Un dimanche à Kyoto

By Gilles Vigneault

Book Overview

Un album de chansons et comptines rempli d'espoir Le temps d'un merveilleux concert, les influences musicales convergent dans le salon du Vieux Joe, qui habite Kyoto. Ses amis musiciens jouent des instruments provenant des quatre coins du monde Chaque page illustre magnifiquement les paroles de la chanson titre, et fait d couvrir aux petits les tr sors de l'Orient. Les autres chansons qui accompagnent le livre permettent de poursuivre le voyage au Qu bec gr ce des classiques du r pertoire de Gilles Vigneault. Le disque comprend 8 chansons et 8 comptines. The lush, color-washed line drawings in the book focus on the whimsical title-song "Comptine en mode zen" (Nursery Rhyme in Zen Mode) that tells the tale of an improbable group of musicians who come together to play their instruments in old Kyoto. The curious cast includes cane-wielding Joe from Cajun land, his kimono-clad Japanese wife, their Spanish friends, a little boy with a high-pitched voice, and a Buddhist monk. Sixteen additional songs on the accompanying CD introduce zany-crazy characters such as the old lady who snorts like a hog in "La m re Maillard" (Maillard's Mother) and a rooster who serves eggs for breakfast in "Les quatre oeufs" (The Four Eggs).
