Charriere La Forêt enchantée (2006)

The suggestive title The La Forêt enchantée (The Magic Forest) came
to mind by chance and the subtitles spontaneously followed : 1. Par
un matin (by one morning) 2. Dans le lointain, elfes et lutins (In
the distance: elfs and goblins) 3. Les heures heureuses (The Happy
Hours).
I don't know precisely why I wanted to propose a fairy-like world: was
it due to the harp sounds? or was it a personal need?
The first movement depicts the scenery: a forest on a quiet morning,
but in the middle of the movement some mysterious signs are beginning
to appear .
The second movement provides confirmation: elfs and goblins gather
together excitedly and intervene, one after the other.
The third movement returns to the calming atmosphere of the morning,
and the happy hours pass with the fullness of nature.
