A Translation Success Story:
The lyrics of French jazz composer Charles Trenet are whimsical, nostalgic, and fun, but translating Trenet’s clever wordplay and quintessentially French sense of humor into English represents a special challenge. Arwen recently undertook that challenge, creating new translations of well-loved Trenet hits such as Le Soleil et la Lune, Ménilmontant and Je Chante for performance at Seattle’s 2015 March is Cabaret Month Festival. The English-speaking audiences were enthusiastic, calling the performances “…hilarious and very touching…” “A fantastic night!” "...a well-told story about one of France’s most beloved, colorful entertainers.” Ongoing performances at venues around the Seattle area continue to introduce English-speakers to Trenet and the stories in his music.
