Another plea for enlightenment.
In the Poulenc mass that the choir I'm in is currently learning, there is an instruction to the tenors for one bar (two bars before figure 8) to sing clair, with the following bar marked naturel.
Does clair really just mean 'clear'?
I could have sworn that I had seen the instruction en clair associated with the horns in The Rite of Spring, but a quick skim through the score didn't reveal it.
All thoughts/comments welcome.

P.S. Found it now. It is indeed pavillons en l'air (or "bells up" in horn players' slang, I guess) and appears for the first time in the bar before fig 46 on p.41 in the Ritual of abduction movement.Last edited by ahinton; 17-05-19, 13:58.

It probably was.
It's a little trumpet-like motif, but at least I know I'm not confusing it with en chamade!
Though that might be the sort of projection being asked for.

clear voice, white voice, voce chiara (Italian), voce bianca (Italian), voix claire (French), voix blanche (French):
a clear open timbre in which the tongue retracts and blocks the pharynx
