Information about the piece

The first collection of graded French song sheet music, CrocK’MusiC offers a clear progression from level 1 to 9, designed by piano teachers. The works, drawn primarily from the French chanson repertoire, immediately resonate with students: they build on familiar melodies, stimulate listening, facilitate sight-reading and recreate a direct connection with the instrument.

Technique ceases to be an obstacle and becomes a springboard; CrocK’MusiC is not an alternative to the traditional repertoire, it is a parallel path that leads back to it naturally.

The piano transcription by Armelle Cocheril and Patrice Bourgès Rouhaut of this hymn to departure has been adapted here to strike a perfect balance between the emotion of the original version and an accessible yet demanding structure.

Learning focuses on:
