Christ Habib plays Ombres et Lumières by Patrick Roux

It brings me great joy to present this musical piece, composed by Patrick Roux, who has not only been a remarkable mentor but also a dear friend throughout my 13-year journey of studying with him at the Conservatoire de Musique de Gatineau. Ombres et Lumières, inspired by a painting by Mario Courchesne, unveils its captivating essence. The opening movement delves into the depths of human sorrow, immersing the listener in an enigmatic realm of shadows and darkness. The second movement follows with a rhythmical, fast paced and exciting expedition towards the path of light. **** C’est un grand plaisir de vous partager mon interprétation d’une oeuvre de Patrick Roux, qui a été non seulement un mentor remarquable, mais aussi un ami très cher tout au long des 13 années d’études que j’ai passées avec lui au Conservatoire de Musique de Gatineau.
