La Ronde Humoresque (Tribute to the 25th Aniversary of Leucan) July 30th, 2003
Panzera S.A.S., designed by Pierpaolo Serafino, music by Piere Walder, traditional electrical firing
This year, the Montréal International Fireworks Competition dedicates the enchantment of its closing show to the 25th anniversary of Leucan, an organization that helps children with cancer as well as their families. In tribute to these courageous and determined youngsters, the master technicians of Panzera S.A.S. and La Ronde will present Humoresque - a spectacular ballet of colours, rhythms and suprising pyrotechnical effects that hopes to lighten the children's load by offering a moment where laughter, wonder and innocent spontaneity prevail. With smiles in mind, this pyromusical show will draw on a whimsical and humorous soundtrack that includes musical themes from the great composers, such as Vivaldi, Strauss and Beethoven; the light-hearted, airy and amusing sonds of Bourvil, Henri El Salvador and Spike Jones; and finally some musical surprises particularly intended for our special guests of honour. The Jupiters will be awarded prior to the closing ceremony performance
As usual, I didn't write a report but just watched a great display under
perfect summer skies. The soundtrack can be
found here.
