Charles Trenet

What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani mentions Charles Trenet several times, in brief touches. He recalls that Michel Clouscard quotes one of his songs right beside the great themes of metaphysics1. He regrets not having known him in his early days on stage, in the immediacy of the music hall2. In a session devoted to Mozart, he contrasts Le Jardin extraordinaire with today's "sound ghetto"3. Elsewhere, he mentions him as the one who would later write both the lyrics and the music for song4. He also quotes "Le soleil a rendez-vous avec la lune" in a session on Nerval5. Finally, in connection with the Massacre of the Innocents, he returns to La Noix, a song about what there is inside a nut6. These passages remain occasional: Trenet serves as an example of popular song, which Pagani brings close to philosophical reflection and to great music.
