I like the idea of reveilleuse. It sounds very classy. But I do not want to sound like a snob. Ha. Ha. The idea of Wake Me Gently is something I have been thinking about for quite a number of years, though I must freely admit that the pieces I am now writing in this series could just as easily be called Counting Sheep or some such thing.. but compter les moutons does not have a very engaging ring to it.
And one of these marvelous wake-up pieces. You need a fancy French or Italian name for these. I don't think anti-berceuse cuts it. Proposing réveilleuse.
