Gw\u00e9na\u00eblle testifies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\u00ab\u00a0For a very long time, I didn't like psalms.<\/strong> I found them violent and barbaric. \u00abAccuse, Lord, those who accuse me, attack those who attack me,\u00bb says Psalm 34. I couldn't help but think of the famous expression: \u00abAn eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.\u00bb. One day, without really knowing why, I amused myself by setting a short verse from the psalm of the day to music on my ukulele. A process of taming and appropriating these poems then began... I improvise melodies on the psalm of the day with more energetic and rhythmic music; when I lead a service, I suggest composing on the psalm texts, and I bring along musician friends on this adventure. I sing with who I am, with what I understand at the moment. Doesn't God ask us to give him the little we have? And the more I sing them, the more I become aware of how well these psalms reflect the human soul, with its surges of sadness, despair, hope, and joy. My name is Gwena\u00eblle, I'm 26 years old and from Normandy. I love nature, DIY, and of course, music! In my pocket, I always carry the tuning fork of faith, to tune my inner orchestra and to guide me on the path of life and love. Well, I try!<\/p>\n\n\n\n And on all listening platforms. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
These texts, older than Jesus himself, put me to sleep when they were sung in polyphony over an organ background during Mass. Their words meant nothing to me, and I couldn't draw a parallel between these old poems and my life today. What's the point of singing them today?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
It has been 5 years now and some thirty psalms have thus been composed, and are now waiting to be shared, to join us in our lives. For this, I need your support.\u00bb<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe artist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
