Relying
on
the
experiments
and
writings
of
its
founder,
the
educationist
Celestin
Freinet,
this
consortium
of
teachers
is
about
to
give
empirical
evidence
proving
that
another
approach
to
music
in
school
can
be
fruitful,
distancing
itself
from
government
directives.
This
compilation
presents
a
selection
of
recordings
from
the
thirty
or
so
records
released
by
the
CEL
between
1962
and
1982,
partly
deviating
these
sound
archives
from
their
original
function
to
offer
them
to
a
new
audience.
The
other
tracks
have
all
been
selected
from
the
record
series
that
the
ICEM
released
in
the
1970s.
On
the
title
track,
the
young
Frederic
Chanu
starts
singing
a
bewildering
ode
to
joy
on
a
melancholy
tone
verging
on
detachment,
making
heavy
clanks
all
the
while.
As
for
"The
Ocean,"
"C'etait
l'histoire"
and
other
excerpts
fromL'Enfant
de
la
liberte,
they
belong
in
the
register
of
intimate
folk,
with
songs
recorded
in
secondary
school
(with
twelve-to-eighteen-year-old
kids),
originally
written
as
an
exercise
in
French
rather
than
in
music.
