Notes
de pochette : Malicorne est un chaudron magique qu'on a
posé sur le feu le 5 septembre 1973. D'abord on y a mis des gens
avec une grosse envie de jouer ensemble, puis des influences
musicales diverses qui vont des expressions ethniques les plus
primitives aux musiques savantes, en passant par le rock'n roll.
On y a ensuite versé des instruments : ceux qu'on aime ou
simplement ceux qu'on avait sous la main. Puis certaines choses y
sont entrées toutes seules : des légendes qui font rêver ou qui
donnent le frisson, des merveilles de poésie traditionnelle et
des danses qui feraient se lever des morts.
Depuis on s'est contenté d'attiser le feu
et de puiser dans le chaudron. Les choses et les gens y rentrent
et en sortent de même, mais il sera toujours prêt à bouillir
tant qu'il y aura des amateurs pour la potion qui s'y prépare. |

CE QU'ILS EN PENSENT .....
|
| Rock& Folk n° 151 -
Août 1979 - Fous du Folk
.... c'est un album
enregistré pendant une tournée au Québec. Cinq inédits,
surtout instrumentaux, et des reprises de quelques classiques de Malicorne comme "Le mariage anglais", "Le prince
d'Orange" ou "Pierre de Grenoble". A l'écouter
ici, il semble que Malicorne avait particulièrement soigné la
présentation scénique, et la qualité du son et de
l'interprétation peut concourir à relativiser la théorie selon
laquelle ce groupe serait incapable de reproduire en concert la
qualité de son travail studio. Jacques VASSAL

Review
by andrea (andrea parentin)
This
album was recorded live in Montreal in 1978 (“El Casino” –
2/12/1978 and 3/12/1978) when Malicorne were probably at their
best… If you’re not familiar with this band I think that “En
public” could be a very good introduction to their music…
The first track “La semaine” (also known as “Couché tard
levé matin”, originally released on Malicorne IV) describes the
hard week of a farmer and is played in medley with two traditional
dances featuring the violin in the forefront…
“Le mariage anglais” is a beautiful ballad with an elaborated
arrangement that tells the story of a French king’s daughter
compelled to marry an Englishman because of “political reasons”…
“Le prince d’Orange” is a traditional song arranged “à
cappella” with beautiful harmony vocals… It is a song against
war and tells the story of a French prince wounded to death by the
English army…
“L’écolier assassin” is a beautiful and melancholic long
ballad that tells the story of a man that, following the wicked
advice of his mother, kills his sweetheart… Sad and “noir”,
this is one of my favourite Malicorne’s song (the original
version is on “Almanach”)…
“Pierre de Grenoble” is another sad love ballad… It is
played in medley with “Schiarazzula marazzula” (also known as
Schiarazula marazula or Schiarazzola marazzola), a composition of
Giorgio Mainerio from Aquileia (1535-1582) that is part of the
repertory of the Benandanti, an heterodox sect strongly influenced
by the Jewish- Christian culture that had in the sacred dance one
of the most typical features: the «schiarazz» and the «marazz»
were respectively the reed and the fennel used by them during
their night rites... By the way, if you like this genre… A
version of “Schiarazula marazula” with lyrics in Italian was
released in 1978 by Angelo Branduardi as “Ballo in fa diesis
minore”… Branduardi released also an English version of this
song with lyrics written by Peter Sinfield and a French one with
lyrics by Etienne Roda-Gil… Another Branduardi’s version of
this piece is on the album “Futuro antico II (Sulle orme dei
Patriarchi)"…
The dark “La danse des damnés” tells the story of four boys
and four girls condemned to dance until they die… It is a good
introduction to some reels and to the following instrumental
“Suite de branles”, a medley of traditional dances featuring
as a special guest Brian Gulland (Gryphon) on bassoon and flute,
where the members of the band show their great musicianship and
energy…
The final track “C’est le mai” is another short arrangement
“à cappella” where the band ask the public to join them in
their amazing harmony vocals…
In the whole “En public” is an excellent album… If you like
The Pentangle, Fairport Convention and Gryphon and if you are
interested in the French language and culture I’m sure that
you’ll fall in love with it…
