LOUIS XIII Cognac Presents "ONE NOTE PRELUDE"
PARIS, November 27, 2019 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

- A Composition as a Tribute to the Specific "G-sharp" Musical Note Created 
When Toasting With LOUIS XIII Glasses. A Melody With Just One Note Offering 
Many Dimensions and Complexity Just Like One Single Drop of LOUIS XIII Cognac.

ONE NOTE PRELUDE composition is a pioneering project that brings together a 
renowned Jazz composer and advanced robotics to create a performance. When two 
LOUIS XIII cognac glasses are clinked together to make a toast, they produce a 
very specific sound – a clear, extended G-sharp note. ONE NOTE PRELUDE 
composition explores the multi-faceted nature of this distinctive sound with a 
specially commissioned piece of music written by the Paris-based Israeli 
pianist Yaron Herman, who composed a one-note symphony using only G-sharp.

"The symphony has a complex simplicity. It's just one note, but with many 
dimensions. The idea that one note, like one drop of LOUIS XIII, can evolve 
over time and reveal itself was something that I found fascinating," says Yaron 
Herman.

One note, as a drop, offering many dimensions and revelations

The one-of-a-kind piece written by Yaron Herman begins with a single piano 
note, which cleverly draws you in. The piano is then joined by a string quartet 
playing the same note, but at different octaves and using contrasting rhythms, 
the individual instruments adding texture, structure and harmony to the 
composition. A violin provides the main melody, while a second violin and a 
viola add colour and harmony. A cello adds a rhythmic bass line, bringing 
structure to the melody, which rises to a crescendo. Always thinking a century 
ahead. 

The pair of specially choreographed robotic arms come together, in time with 
the music, to make a unique toast with two LOUIS XIII cognac glasses. The 
robots are going to give precisely the right angle and the right speed to get 
the G-Sharp sound. "ONE NOTE PRELUDE composition not only pays tribute to this 
musical note. It also expresses the complexity of one single note, as an echo 
to the tasting of one drop of LOUIS XIII Cognac, which lasts for up to one hour 
on the palate," says Ludovic du Plessis LOUIS XIII Global Executive Director.

As of April 2020, the unique robots' arms will be displayed in the LOUIS XIII 
Boutiques and then will travel the world.
