Les trompettes de la renommée

The first collection of French song sheet music graded by level of difficulty, CrocK’MusiC offers a clear path from level 1 to 9, designed by piano teachers. The works, drawn mainly from the French chanson repertoire, speak immediately to the student: they build on familiar melodies, stimulate listening, make reading easier and recreate a direct link with the instrument.

Technique stops being an obstacle and becomes a lever; CrocK’MusiC is not an alternative to the traditional repertoire, it is a parallel path that leads naturally back to it.

Armelle Cocheril’s piano transcription of this monument of Brassens’s verve is adapted here to offer a perfect balance between the energy of the original verbal delivery and pedagogical accessibility, while respecting the spirit of the “Brassens-style” oom-pah.

Difficulty level: ⑥ (Fairly easy pieces)
This score is ideal for students wishing to tackle a repertoire of high technical precision.
Learning focuses on:
- Rhythm: work on the regularity of the flow and the placement of the text, demanding perfect synchronisation between melody and accompaniment.
- Technique: an approach to a lightened “oom-pah” accompaniment in the left hand, characteristic of the musical style.
- Clarity: an airy layout in A minor, careful and complete engraving with fingerings.

Crock'Music scores include the lyrics and are printed on sturdy natural Rives 170g paper.
These individual scores are available in songbook form, but also as downloads.
