La Marseillaise

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.

Patrice Bourgès Rouhaut’s piano transcription of the French national anthem is adapted here to offer a perfect balance between the original orchestral power and high-level pedagogical accessibility, while meeting the demands of the upper levels. Particular care has been taken over the harmonisation of the anthem.

Difficulty level: ⑨ (Difficult pieces)
This score is ideal for students wishing to tackle a repertoire of high technical precision.
Learning focuses on:
- Rhythm: modulation between the anthem section and the march.
- Technique: executing various difficulties in both hands, including dense chords, wide intervals and expert use of the pedal for breadth of sound.
- Clarity: an airy layout in C major, 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.
