Sinfonietta No. 5€ 149,99Dit werk bouwt voort op eerdere muzikale verkenningen van de componist; wat betreft de moeilijkheidsgraad en de vorm is het nauw verwant aan diens Sinfonietta No. 3. Het is gebaseerd op verschillende relatief korte motieven, die in de eerste minuten worden geïntroduceerd en vervolgens op symfonische wijze worden doorontwikkeld. De muziek varieert tussen momenten van grote vitaliteit en uitbundigheid en eerder zorgelijke, sombere of dramatische passages. Hoewel het geen programmatische compositie betreft, heeft de muziek wel steeds een beschrijvend karakter. Sinfonietta No. 5 is geschreven in opdracht van de kantonnale muziekverenigingen van Wallis, Bern, Jura, Genève, Solothurn en Centraal-Zwitserland, voor het Kantonale Musikfest van 2024, als het verplichte werk voor brassbands in de eerste divisie.

Magdalena Bay€ 159,99While admiring many masterpieces at the Louvre Museum in Paris, Gauthier Dupertuis’ attention was drawn to a less famous painting: Magdalena Bay, by French painter François-Auguste Biard (1799-1882).
The work depicts a magnificent snowy landscape on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen. However, in the foreground, the presence of the wreckage of a ship, bodies covered in snow and a visibly dying character make us understand that tragic events took place there. Thus, a strong contrast is formed between death and the sublime, between the desolation of the survivors of the shipwreck and the magnificence of the landscape. When we look in more detail at the painting, we notice that footprints have been made in the snow: so, could someone have gone to get help? This little glimmer of hope makes the picture even more touching.
In this work, Gauthier Dupertuis tried to describe the different elements of the painting, using contrasting sections and dissonances (in particular, the conflict between the minor and the major) to convey the duality between death and the sublime. The work also attempts to highlight a wide palette of orchestral colors, from the most shimmering lines to the darkest low brass colours.
In 2024, Magdalena Bay was awarded the first Prize as well as the band Prize at the 9th European Composition Competition for Brass Band, which was held in Palanga (LT). It was premiered on May 2, 2024 by The Cory Band, conducted by Philip Harper.

Postcards from tomorrow€ 124,99During their childhood, some people have the tradition to put their toys, drawings and wishes for the future into a timebox that they bury somewhere to dig up when they are adults. This has inspired Gauthier Dupertuis for the title of this work: Postcards from tomorrow. What wishes would we put in those boxes for the future; what kind of postcards would we send to our grandchildren?
To compose this work, Gauthier Dupertuis was also inspired by three pictures that have some symbolic meaning linked to the question above and that give the names to the three movements that make up this piece.
The first movement, Abandoned Blockhouses, refers to war and other horrors in the history of humanity, while Pagoda at the Lake, the second movement, was inspired by the pagoda, a religious building whose function is to house the relics of holy people in Asian worship. The third and last movement, Building Bridges, is a call for hope.
In July 2021, Postcards from Tomorrow was awarded the first prize at the “La Bacchetta d’Oro” international composition contest in Italy.
