« Guitar teacher at the CRR Metz, I worked several times the piece » Passage I » which is very popular with students. I appreciate very much your way of writing for the guitar which explores with fineness its richness of timbres and articulations and which develops a musical language, very poetic, luminous and contrasted, while remaining technically accessible.

Maya flute
« I realised how unique has it been working with you and your piece. The number of creative responses that Un Sueño Maya generated. It’s like the score you created transforms into a map full of geographies. It{s the first time that my first reaction to a musical work is not the actual playing of it. beautiful! Even though the recording of Rosaz’ A Mayan Dream for the triple flute is still pendant, the work has acted as the unifying element, since it incorporates and brings together the elements that dialogue in this clay video: the Mayan culture in historical narrative, Jean Christophe’s homage to the tropical jungle and its damaged native vegetation and his sound fantasy for the Mayan triple flute; my systematization of the Mayan flute for the creation of a repertoire dedicated to it; the craftwork around clay in the hands of visual artists; different pre-Columbian flutes and their nature-related sounds. His score acts as a kaleidoscope displaying materiality, reaching far beyond the composer-performer-instrument scope. It is curious that the first performance of his work took the shape of a video, which will inspire and inform my performance with the flute. »

Tell me if I’m wrong but I feel reminiscences of Ravel, Debussy, Poulenc, Bartok, Stravinsky and even of « Carmen » by Bizet (in Indian Songs). Both different languages in the texts than the idea of composing for children (instrument and singing, I guess more easily the fun they must have to interpret your work to the extent that you put within their reach and make available genuine chamber music prowesses) reveal a poignant creativity and a brilliant intelligence beyond far from the only envy, too often met nowadays, to free from theoretical and stylistic shackles of previous centuries composers.

« Emotion in discovering the music that inspired my poem… I detect the attention that was yours to the words, the certain beauty of melodic phrases.I also like the way you introduced the repetition of sighs, which subtly carry the scansion of the text to interpret it, I can only bow before your talent, and be grateful for having prolonged, densified, enriched what was only language.
« Poem born of the night, of negation, of separation, poem-prayer, a demand, a question which opens the sketch of a star, of legitimate hope.
Sleeping for months, since the night has found new life and breath thanks to the music of Jean-Christophe Rosaz. Happy encounter of words and sounds, imaginations, sensibilities, sublimation of the verbal idea by the harmonic weaving, the rhythmic breaths of the composer’s work. The music of J.-C. Rosaz, attentive, respectful, knew how to densify the evocative capacity of the poem, to give form and substance to the meaning of the words, to the unlimited which overflows them. I thank him for it. « Sophie BERNARD author
« It is also a delicate moment when you receive a composition… I clicked with a trembling hand … and I found it magnificent! It is a beautiful clarity in the night. » Marie-Clotilde MOES, choir director.

Et si au dessus des nuages
« Looking up to heaven, while ignoring the earth, one can only be attracted by this blue area, by the processions of clouds which often cover it. Then the imagination begins to wander. What about this space out of reach? Is it not the image of the infinite, the unattainable? These clouds which are like a distant presence are the first step before the mind does realize that it will fail to discover the secret of this blue: all hope is vain, but without feeling sadness. Let us watch, let us go to dream. Thank you very much for the partition of the poem that you have set to music, I am very pleased with this mark of interest in this small poem. » Max ALHAU.

Gloria
« Your music is inspired and sounds true. The work has attracted many people who appreciated the fluidity and, at the same time, the density. The amazing thing is that, somehow, all the singers have never lived like this partition. The work has paid off, but something stronger happened … from the domain of the unspeakable ».
Jean-Christophe Rosaz is a composer who loves and honors the sacred texts. Gloria for male voices a cappella is designed to showcase all the subtleties of this beautiful text, rhythms irresistibly stick the text, polyphony illuminates, magnifies, wedding intentions effectively, but also a kind of modesty exceeded once the real difficulties of implementation, when we worked together and given, we have felt, more or less consciously, that we were invited to put ourselves at the service of something, someone … The music, when it meets a need in the inner composer has that power. Gloria it is a convincing illustration »
Pierre CHAROULET, chorus master.
« I studied the score, the scents, colors and dynamics that emerge from your composition that requires a certain maturity of the work to give all its splendor. I liked what you wrote and hope to have the pleasure of direct your Passions. I also found the spirit of composers that I like as Franck, Reger and Ropartz. »

« I was struck by the fluidity of your music …. I love its sacred side that exalts the beauty of the world … I love this music that expresses the sacred … Your music is close to prayer … Maybe because you know how to associate it with sacred texts in sacred places … Perhaps also because you often use the human voice, in different languages – music makes all language Transparent to praise the Creator! Thus the human is not only associated as a musical instrument but as an essential component of creation, integrated, exalted to sing the gift of God … Your Cantate is part of your way, your research, always in progress, in this exaltation of spirituality – all Franciscan – that you knew how to retain from Teilhard’s writings. I was deeply touched … Sincerely yours, wonderful original dispenser of beautiful sacred music » Remo VESCIA
« I enjoyed your cantata in tribute to Teilhard de Chardin. I place the same level as the compositions of Olivier Messiaen and in a genre sometimes similar. I just listen to your Cantate again and my first impression is strengthened, deepened. The sculptural, mineral and geometric side sets itself up in a « breath » of spirituality. I would not be surprised that this work becomes a great » classic « . Jean Pierre FRESAFOND President of Association Lyonnaise Pierre Teilhard de Chardin.
« I was delighted to hear the words of Teilhard expressed so passionately by singers and musicians so closely united. It was a « noospheric » moment, of a great beauty where the universal soul was present. »

« Thank you and congratulations to you for this unusual composition, original, of a metaphysical reach quite successful that takes us! The texts of Father Teilhard (well chosen) induce a meditation on our own essence (Spirit and Matter) very well supported by your music including certain effects that create emotion … maybe to help us to touch « the Essential », the Divine in us … beautiful perspective sought by all the mystics of the world …! » Richard BOUDARHAM conductor
« Thank you for this very beautiful musical piece, very exciting! » Teilhard « confessed » one day that he would have preferred to be the shadow of Wagner rather than Darwin’s! He must have smiled with ease in the Light… » Marie-Jeanne COUTAGNE doctor of philosophy, member of the Board of Teilhard de Chardin Foundation

« So many emotions singing your work, when will be the next? » Elisabeth CHAGNIOT soprano
« Speaking about music is rather like grafting words onto a composition. From whatever angle, your comments crash against the basic unity of the work. This is particularly true of Jean-Christophe Rosaz’s Indian Songs. Their multiple musical roots unite different spiritual traditions, yet can never be reduced by the dry simplicity of analysis.
I received this music as a celebration, a path along both religious and poetic texts which lead in English, French, Spanish, Quechua, Anishabe… to the same truth.
I should like to share the emotion of this route through life, of a music that wraps itself around us and leads us to unite with nature’s elements. This is no mere seduction : it is a spell. Jean-Christophe Rosaz seems to access the secrets of languages and peoples and summon them through music in an irrational coherence that calls forth the whole variety of an underlying world that is silent but active.As soon as the sun rises, we join the mystery of the world and welcome the morning sun, the energy that gives life to everything.
The prayers (Oh Great Spirit, May the Sun rise in Splendor, Morning Sun, Ojibwe, Lakota, Salish chants) fold and unfold like entangled banners, and order themselves into a musical offering we feel compelled to be as one with.
For a while we follow the dance of the daughters of stars and are overburdened by the longing for a lost and far away home (Jane Johnston Schoolcraft’s Daanisag anongonsag, noodinag, zaagaagig, Anishinabe). Soon we savour the joy of our recovered freedom, when we are overwhelmed by the orchestra’s deep waves, all barriers are broken and we are swept away to encounter a subtle space, a paradise where time is abolished (“ La grande mer a rompu ses amarres » – The Great Sea has broken away – et « L’âme parvient à la terre des Esprits » – The Soul reaches the Land of Spirits – after Uvavnuk, an Eskimo shaman ; after W. W. Waren, daughter of an Indian mother and a white father). A superb Quechua chant responds to this subtle world by evoking the unity of all the elements : earth, sky, water, fire, man, woman, day, night (Allpa hanaqpacha unu…)Then « Coyote » appears.
The plaintive song of the flute and clarinet (C # – G # – B, then C # – G # – B – G natural) heralds in the Night. The ancient animal hurtles down the Adirondacks. These rock mountains have been abused by human « progress », deforested, scarred by the railway, but they too have learnt to regenerate and survive.
While the breathless orchestra sets a tempo to its power, the Coyote suddenly stops, and observe us, waiting till we are gone. Then, escorted by the returning flute melismas, it withdraws to Night, its kingdom, and sings. It sings, beyond the hills, a threatened world.
When the pure, deep, fluid voice of the Argentine soprano Yolanda Fresedo rises, the coyote’s spirit is present, like the « hors-venu »*, an outsider in its sidereal course.
The voice, choir, orchestra, sublimated by Martina Niernhaussen’s direction, unite subtly and sing on texts by Maurice Kenny (born in 1929 to a Mohawk father and a Seneca-descended mother) ; a poem awakens the longing for hidden beauties, it is the apex of this « opera » dedicated to Nature.
Being a singer himself, Jean-Christophe Rosaz knows how to write for human voices and handles musical matter like a shaman, summons the whole range of sound vibrations, evoking shimmering colours in a whirl that sometimes reaches incandescence. Then emotion takes hold of us, and we are at one with his music. The audience no longer move, cough, or ramble. They listen and hear. They live with the soul of time, and no longer fill it with notes.
This is a moment of powerful communion, beyond the reach of analysis. Silence, which Guitry and Celibidache valued so much, is full, filled with Rosaz’s music.Later, somewhere, a shaman dances. He calls forth the forces in the world (Thunder Beings) for the time has come to reconcile this world (To Encircle the Earth with all our Love). Only then shall we be able to unify it and make it quiver in the light of our love. En un vuelo de luz, inspired by an eighteenth century Quechua poem, reminds us that if we respond to the call of the light that comes from the faraway space where everything springs from, we at last perceive the words of wisdom this world never ceases to utter.
At the pure hour when everything unites, we hear a song of hope, resistance and resilience: mountains communicate, and man, now become Man, advances toward Beauty (This is the Song of the Hills, Yokut, Navajo, Arapaho poems).The musical progress is completed, and we as an audience have been « reconstructed », « enchanted », by the so moving truth of this work, after receiving an ultimate gift, wrapped in obsessive and grandiose music : the Comanche Testament, the conviction they offered the whole of humanity: We shall live again. May humanity hear it at last! Monique ROUSSELLE
« Your composition is magnificent. It is very thought provoking and wonderfully mystical in nature. I especially enjoy the « mood » that your work creates.

In Jail – thinking to Camille
» He encontrado una gran conexión entre la música y la obra de Rodin. » Pere RIBERA
« Thank you for this communication of a new part of your composition. It is impressive. A magnificent result and interpretation of Calliope, but what a shock: despite the music, despite the voices despite the text, time seems to be suspended. Or rather, we see it pass without being able to overcome or enjoy it. It is a music of the empty, spiritual and even physical mind. A music of nothingness while we sense that so many things happen beyond. If that’s your idea of prison confinement, I never want to know the prison. We have the feeling of a progressive mental collapse.
Your piece « Injail » marks the beginning of the confinement and the descent into hell. No hope, no light, no life can hint there, at the end of this tunnel that seems endless …
In any case, this piece is a success. A thousand bravos. I cannot wait to hear the record in which it will be. I especially hear in my times of self-criticism and doubt to regain the sense of measure and the taste of life ». Michel GRINAND reporter Avant Choeur

Notturno
« Wonderful piece with its nocturnal moodiness, sudden bursts of electricity, almost humorous and a tad jazzy, then as if in a stream-of-consciousness Proustian gesture, un retour to the shimmering darkness de la nuit.

« Hola Maestro, la verdad es que no se por donde empezar para agradecerte ese maravilloso trabajo, esa magnífica música que desde hoy y para siempre serán parte y acompañarán mis obras. He oído, he escuchado atentamente cada nota, cada silencio de las tres composiciones y me han emocionado y llenado de sensaciones tan ricas como hermosas. Mis hijos, mi hermana, mi pareja y todos aquellos que han escuchado la música y me lo han comunicado, coinciden en que la música está totalmente y maravillosamente relacionada con la pintura. Antonio José Gascó Sidro, crítico de arte y musical, me ha escrito para decirme que le parece muy buena la composición, además de considerarte un gran compositor. Antonio es un buen amigo, pero que nunca habla por hablar. Así que quiero felicitarte y agradecerte (y no me cansaré nunca de hacerlo) que hayas solapado a mi obra tu música o mi obra a tu música, lo cual considero un honor y una veradera fortuna. Para celebrar este feliz encuentro, con este magnífico resultado artístico, voy a seguir divulgando tu trabajo, porque creo que debe conocerlo todo el mundo. Hoy aún me han llegado más comentarios positivos sobre tus composiciones y eso me alegra el corazón.
Maravilloso! Esto me ha resultado muy,muy,muy grande. Tu capacidad y generosidad creativa es increible! Muchas gracias!!!Gracias Maestro y adelante siempre! »
Gracias siempre a ti estimado amigo. Mi agradecimiento será eterno!
Llegaste a mi corazón y a mi alma con tu música!
Espero poder seguir compartiendo momentos mágicos y maravillosos.
Un fuerte abrazo y adelante!

» Ho ascoltato la tua musica , è davvero bellissima. » Stefano GIANNOTTI / OTEME / Italy
« It is with great emotion that I listen to your work « Of birds and men ». In a very unusual way, I find all that I love in music. very contrasted, unreal harmonies, unexpected variations of rhythms, brilliant solos, expressive silences … but also a lot of feelings, astonishment, curiosity, anxiety, peace, happiness, joy. However, I am afraid I do not understand all the subtleties, as my musical culture is poor in the face of this surge of novelties, sounds from elsewhere, a very interior elsewhere that propels me in an imaginary very rich in emotions of all kinds. In a way, and on reflection, these two universes, that of humans and of birds, so different in appearance, are very much alike.Through the magic of sounds, they come and join together.Your work ends on the euphoric and joyful sensation of this communion of feelings, which speaks to us of the Universal Nature, and which incites us to great closeness. My wife, who shares these words well, joins me to send you a great BRAVO and wish this brilliant success, recognition and success that it deserves. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making us enjoy it so masterfully. « Jacques CAILLES
» Maravillosa obra! » Marina LOPEZ

« I can much better understand what’s behind modern classic music. Looking for new ways, to do it in a different way, trying to find inspiration from other sources. I think you have succeeded in a great way. Some time it sounds like that you imagine yourself in the Amazone, like a bird’s song. » Pieter van LEIJENHORST
Obra para dos
« Referring to a musical piece by the French composer Jean-Christophe Rosaz, his notes, which connect with the purest expressionism, seem to be chiseled on the nervous lines that prevail in the Pere Ribera’s paintings that serve as inspiration. This analogy of music and painting has his first great reference, for modernity period, in the theory of correspondences that Baudelaire sentenced in the poem that bears the same name. The basic idea that underlies here is dialogue – or rather, analogies – that connect apparently dissimilar elements. A line, a color, a note … all of them have a relationship with each other that helps the language to spread and the message to take shape. In this interrelation, Pere has found language and life. »

Hopefully, Milhaud (and others) would have really enjoyed this delightful meeting. » Chester BREZNIAK clarinet / US
Par la fenêtre
« In the tradition of the descriptive miniatures that bloom in the organ literature, this small piece give us to hear delightful whispers of birds, free-floating over an ostinato bass and framed by quieter patterns, more sober, more regular. Allegory of the musician at work sometimes distracted, or dialogue between the calm teacher, sitting at his desk and the twirling student? Pictorial interpretations proposed by the composer himself … The selected registrations will give preference to crystalline sounds, emphasizing where it is possible the difference in character of the two families of patterns. A page that is in the direct legacy of the Olivier Messiaen’s birdsongs « . Pascale ROUET
« I just listened to the organ piece you have composed, and quite honestly, I find it extremely interesting, colorful, and a relatively easy approach! I would be happy to add it at my repertoire! Contemporary music is not always accessible, but this piece is descriptive! A small twinckle to Messiaen’s birds … maybe. This is a wonderful approach to contemporary music! A huge congratulations to you! « Michael MATTHES organ

I congratulate you very much for – among other beauties – the quality of your instrumental writing so balanced in all parts of the quintet. It is a rich writing chamber music. All sounds magnificently ». Gerard MONTMAYEUR, violinist.
« That’s the surprise. How can I tell the astonishment which, from Palm Sunday, is still with me after that I was offered to hear your passion according to Saint Mark in the cathedral of Autun, besides the stunning performance of Thi-Link Truong, so full of audacity! To you this verse from Psalm 62: « God has spoken once, twice have I heard » to prove – if proof were needed – that slow and penetrating music inspired (but what is inspiration?) has accomplished its mission: to make us finger that through Him, in Him and with Him, we belong to life. For this and for a thousand of other things I thank you with all my heart. «

I choose not to conduct till the entrance of the tenor and then I conduct just one line. It’s better for the publics sight and the singers have to listen to each other.

The forest speaks to me
« It is absolutely magnificent, your subtle understanding of everything that is at stake through this tune is impressive, first musically, with these syncopated rhythms and these little Amerindian vocalizations, with these crescendo, this time of rest before this flight lyrical and this calm where you come back, different, enriched. Then in the understanding of my voice, because you offer her first of all the seat, the roots, then a trunk, then finally a tessitura of upper fifth which remains well anchored and which occurs after a time of vocal rest. Finally, and it is already present in the previous sentence, one has the impression that you are building this air like the season of a growing tree. » Vincent KARCHE

And we rejoice when such a voice propose compositions available to small groups or more larger communities, singing in unison or equal voices, with or without accompaniment. Many appreciate the modest tone of the proposal, the freedom of verbal rhythm, the modal and tonal colors, and, above all, a certain spirit of a deep meditation and prayer, both personal and liturgical. May be heard in the voice of the Church, the song of the bride to her Beloved! « Préface de Joseph GELINEAU S.J.

St John’s Passion
« The Church of St. Roch hosted on Saturday evening the Choir of the Conservatory of Briançonnais, accompanied by the Ensemble Instrumental Haut-alpin and a set of soloists. They offered to the audience an authentic musical world premiere around the St John Passion, part of the eponymous gospel. This creation of the composer Jean-Christophe Rosaz was conceived on the occasion of the tercentenary of the church of Briançon. Leading us through the universe of the biblical text and narrating the famous night when Jesus was delivered to the Romans, the work carried its audience into a sacred world where the human and the divine come together to offer emotional and sentimental depth . The instrumental ensemble composed of winds, brass and strings perfectly accompanied the work, giving to the ensemble a subtle tone of lyricism and beauty. » Gap Express April 9, 2018
Ombre et lumière for mezzo-soprano, choir & piano by Jean-Christophe Rosaz is a lyrical « tour de force » with liturgical impulses, Slavic echoes with a lunar singing interpreted in a full of life and fairy way by Antonia Cosmina Stancu. The Madrigal choir of Paris is the other essential talent for this intriguing nocturnal round. » François Cavailles Anaclase november 2017
St Matthew Passion Autun, April 2011
It was the desire of Bishop Benoit Riviere to give to the liturgical experience an even greater force for a Passion sung in several voices. Following the creation last year of a St Luke Passion composed by J.-C. Rosaz, the cathedral’s choir renewed the experience with the same happiness, singing under the direction of F. Barxell the St. Matthew Passion. The music emphasizes the drama whith a great sobriety, the composer ensuring to create a different atmosphere but still in great fidelity to the text. in La Gazette du Morvan Tuersday april 19 2011. « This new year is under the sign of the thirtieth anniversary of the classification of the Abbey World Heritage Site by Unesco. Interpreted in an inaugural series through Burgundy: Fontenay Abbey, Cathedral of St. Lazare Autun, Cathedral of St. Vincent de Mâcon, Saint-Pierre d’Auxerre and giving the kickoff of the cultural season 2011 Abbey of Fontenay, the St. Matthew Passion is at the height of the event » Aynard François, Director of the abbey. in Le Bien Public Friday, April 15, 2011.

St. Luke Passion, Autun, March 2010
« … JC Rosaz was able to meet the expectations of Bishop RIVIERE, bishop of Autun and Mr BARXELL, chorusmaster… the score is closer Lutheran passions in the seventeenth century, notably those of Schütz. Burning in their concise, sharp without overflow, without dramatic repeat. The music is completely absorbed by the Gospel text that appears new and deeply challenging. »
