3 Handspiele. pour 6 Voix Mixtes. Composed by Francois Paris. For SSATBB. 55 pages. Duration 19. 40. Gerard Billaudot Editeur #512-03230. Published by Gerard Billaudot Editeur. PR.512032300. ISBN 9790043084488. The composer chose three subjects -- the popular song What a wonderful world by Louis Armstrong, which conveys the optimism of the time, a lullaby that can put a child to sleep, and a hand game such as rock-paper-scissors that is pure fun -- as a vehicle for his considerations on these initial intentions. And he wonders. "How can we interpret enchantment, the wonder of the world, today, without perceiving a form of manipulation. Does not the comfort of a lullaby come from the sweetness of the song, made to forget the present with no hope for the future. Every game, naive or not, will always have a symbolic and poetic meaning. if I say that, according to the rules of the game, the paper wraps the rock and the scissors cut the paper before falling into the well, have I not already begun to enact a form of drama.
