Stabat mater
Few works exist for cello and choir, which is why Henri Demarquette, Catherine Simonpietri, and the singers of the vocal ensemble Sequenza 9.3 initiated a project to commission works for cello and choir. Eric Tanguy’s Stabat mater is one of the first works of the project.

In a dream
In a dream for violin and piano had its world premiere in Kyoto in March and will have its French premiere in April. Commissioned by the International Music Festival Nippon and violinist Akiko Suwanai, In a Dream refers to a peaceful night disturbed by dramatic musical flights. The work, lasting 7 minutes, is dedicated to the performers Akiko Suwanai and Akira Eguchi.
