Souriceau, Kenzie écoute son père lui raconter les exploits du "Rusé tisserand" qui, grâce à son intelligence, vint à bout de trois prédateurs. Les fables contées aux jeunes personnages de la saga Légendes de la Garde rendent hommage au courage, à l’humilité, à l’amour et à la générosité – toutes qualités indispensables à l’éducation des futurs héros !

"Tales of the I Ching" is a remarkable collection of orchestral works composed by David Petersen and inspired by the titular ancient Chinese classic of wisdom and divination. As with the text that served as its inspiration, the score is intended to take listeners on a profound journey through the shifting landscapes of human experience. Fusing Eastern philosophy with elements of the Western classical tradition, each of the 72 evocative soundscapes reflects the timeless principles of the I Ching's trigrams and hexagrams, evoking the elemental energies of heaven, lake, fire, thunder, wind, water, mountain, and earth - in all combinations. Performed with virtuosic flair, these captivating compositions invite the listener to discover the transformative power of music as a gateway to self-knowledge and spiritual understanding. The music itself is richly textured and dramatically expressive, with the different instrumental voices weaving intricate contrapuntal lines that build in complexity and intensity, yet provide scope for the interpretation of dynamics. There is a wonderful sense of ebb and flow, tension and release, as the music navigates the polarities and transitional states central to the I Ching's teachings. From the bold, heroic strains of "The Creative" to the more introspective, subtle expressions of "The Gentle", the composer displays an impressive mastery of orchestral color and a keen sensitivity to the symbolic resonances of each hexagram. This is music that seems to emanate from a deep, almost primal well of spiritual wisdom, inviting the listener on a transformative journey of self-discovery. I hope you enjoy getting to know this 6-month labor of love.

David Petersen was a low-odds, dark-horse chance that his family, the robbery division of the San Antonio Police Department and the 186th District Criminal Court decided to take. The 16 year sentence he accepted in plea bargaining was for two of twelve admitted counts of aggravated robbery. The chance was conferring them concurrently - two eight-year sentences - with trustee time credit possibilities.The promise was a number of habitual offender sentences, effectively for life, if he didn't get it right the first time.The tenor of opioid problems in the public health arena back then in 1977 was greatly and hardly different than it is today. Opiates was the terminology, and ORT (Opioid Replacement Therapy) was the Traitement du jour (Treatment of the day).Today, armed with considerable advances in pharmacology and neurobiological understanding, many of the drug names and treatment theories have new names. Yet, the place that opiates, or opioids if you wish have become more deeply and harmfully embedded in the lives and mindset of western culture.Few make their way out. Many die in untimely manner, and many more spend their lives in serial episodes of brief respite from active addiction. David Petersen is an independent mental health practitioner, consultant and interventionist who is offering insights that are less popular, and expect less from the managed care, judicial and treatment establishments. More, he says, will have to come from the addicts, and their families and communities.
