Media's website for more information and purchase/streaming

“For this new drama
series set in a historical context, I began composing very early in
the process, even before the shooting commenced. I sent Eleonore
Faucher, the director, several musical proposals for the main title
and character themes. She emphasized the need for a romantic,
lyrical, and classical touch regarding the main title. Above all, it
should incorporate a dramatic theme that drives the story. In the
score, I employed numerous leitmotifs to reflect the dramatic
evolution of the various characters, transitioning from romantic
cues to intense, emotional moments.”

director Luc Jacquet has been experiencing it for 30 years. This

offering us images what one cannot convey with words. Almost like a
final journey to a vanishing continent and its inhabitants. The

following LE GLACE ET LE CIEL, Emmy and Hollywood Music in Media
Award-wiinning score for L'EMPEREUR and 2019 short documentary

January 14, 2023: ET LA MONTAGNE
FLEURIRA Cyrille Aufort
composed original score for last year's TV miniseries Et la Montagne
Fleurira. Sadly no score album has been released. Here is the
project's detailed synopsis: Provence,
1847. The son of a wealthy landowner in the south of France,
Jean-Baptiste, loses his mother in a tragic accident. His truculent
father, who was always envious of his son and his relationship with
his mother, takes a harlot he met a few months earlier as his new
bride. Soon after, Jean-Baptiste is falsely accused by his
"stepmother" of trying to take advantage of her. In disgust, his
father banishes him forever from the family home. Jean-Baptiste's
only solution is to live with Blanche, his mother's sister, in the
mountains. He makes a living as a traveling salesman of herbal
remedies and plants picked on the slopes of Lure Mountain. When he
meets Lila, the daughter of a couple of healers and water diviners,
it is love at first sight. She bears him a son, who symbolizes for
Jean-Baptiste his victory over adversity. For its part, Lila forges
a powerful bond with Blanche and her new family. But Jean-Baptiste's
happiness is overrun in the tumult of Provence's rebellion against
Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte's coup d'état. Disinherited and cursed by
his father, Jean-Baptiste realizes he has only one chance of finding
peace: he must reconquer his birthright, the home of his
ancestors.
