ang561Haiti (Solo):
English: "As all of us, I have been deeply disturbed and saddened by the terrible events that have
hit this Haiti island.
This work is for me the evidence of my greatest sympathy.
The whole piece is based on a main theme that will be omnipresent.
From the beginning, it is exposed in a very slow tempo in a lower register in the manner of a funeral march.
Then again with a fast tempo, passing through several modulations to finally be re-exposed (slightly enriched) in its
original tone and then
fragmented to enclose the 1st mvt.
In the second mvt bellows shake technique is used to express feelings of powerlessness, helplessness before and after the disaster.
The final movement starts at a very fast pace to finish on a very meditative Adagio.
To serve as a link to the da Capo, the center of this 3rd mvt has a cadence in which the theme will be treated in various ways.
This
work is all about living life and I am confident it will be a favorite with audiences
too"
Française: Comme nous tous, j'ai été profondément boulversé par les terribles évenements qui ont
frappé cette isle.
C'est pour moi le temoignage de ma plus grande compassion.
Toute la piéce repose sur un théme principal qui sera omniprésent.
Dés le début, il est exposé dans un tempo trés lent dans un registre grave à la maniére d ' une marche funébre.
Ensuite repris avec un tempo rapide , passant par plusieurs modulations pour finalement etre réexposé (légèrement enrichi) dans sa
tonalité initiale puis
fragmenté pour cloturer ce 1er mvt.
dans le second mvt la technique du below shake est utilisée pour exprimer des sentiments d'impuissance, de desarroi devant
tant de desastre.
Le final lui commence dans un tempo tres rapide pour finir sur un ADAGIO trés meditatif.
Pour servir de lien au DA CAPO , au centre de ce 3éme mvt , une cadence dans laquelle le théme sera traité de diverses façons. |
