“Concerto for Vibraphone: Movement 1“ by Emmanuel Séjourné

Composed in 1999, Séjourné’s “Concerto for Vibes and Strings“ is a well-known classic in his extensive catalougue. This video includes the first movement and an accompaniment track produced by Alejandro Coello. The first movement of this exciting concerto emphasizes Séjourné’s often improvisatory composition style. While the entirety of the piece is written out, including the cadenza, there is room for interpretation to allow the performer to make the piece their own. I hope you enjoy! “Emmanuel Séjourné is a musician of international renown who leads a triple career as a composer, percussionist and teacher. His career ranges from classical music to improvised music. He has been awarded prizes for Best Music for Drama at the Festival d’Avignon, the Prix de l’Academie du Disque Français, as well as the Repertoire Prize, awarded by the French Music Publishers, for his composition « Khamsin ».“ - Emmanuel Séjourné (Websit
