The Sung Mantras

The corpus of mantras, sung simply by their composer

Every Transe Symphonic work carries a mantra at its heart: the mantras are the matrix of the language. There are seventy to eighty of them, written to be sung — mostly in French, short, made to come back. Here, Yves Ruhlmann sings them one by one, voice and piano, in a single take, without artifice — and hands over with each one its voice + chords score, his working remarks and entry to the workshop, for you to sing it in turn.

The mantras are released at their own pace, with no announced calendar. Hearing them and singing them with me is free: just open your access, below. What is acquired — the score, my remarks, the workshop — is taken one mantra at a time, or by series of ten: a series is bought once and delivers its mantras to you as they are released.

The series

• Series I – Amour — the ten mantras of the album “Amour – Mantra Polyphonique”. First released: Le ciel est avec moi (Heaven is with me). The series will be available as a whole from the second mantra on.

The workshop

Acquiring a mantra is not only receiving its score: it is also entering the workshop, where you can ask me a question — about how to sing, about a chord that resists. I read everything, and whatever my explanations lack comes back on the mantra’s page, as a remark or a video.

Your free access

A first name, an address, and you hear at once every mantra released so far — sung voice and piano, in one take. You will receive one message for each new release, nothing else; you can stop at any time.

Listen to the polyphonic mantras

The same mantras, sung in four voices by the Sofia choir: the album “Amour – Mantra Polyphonique” is on the platforms. Symphoniya Wave broadcasts these polyphonic versions; the sung interpretations are not on air.
