Summary of This Score
Originally written for the young girls' choir of Radio-France, these Madrigals offer an intensely theatrical exploration of the voice, without systematically relying on a libretto. Here, the dramatic tension arises from the musical progression itself: textures, attacks, unisons, contrasts of density and timbre build an autonomous narrative, immediately meaningful for both performers and audience.
The score evokes female figures both fascinating and venomous, whose power-troubling, sometimes cruel-calls for sensual and wild music. The contemporary writing plays on rhythmic precision, richness of vocal colors, and collective energy, while allowing more stripped-down passages to breathe. The gravitational center of the whole is a nostalgic blues, sung in unison on a text in English by the composer, which can also be vocalized according to your choir's needs (project, level, desired articulation).
Intended for an (SA) choir accompanied by an ensemble, this score fits ideally within a program of contemporary choral music, both in concert and demanding educational projects. It will suit conductors seeking a work with a strong character, where dramaturgy is developed as much in the setup as in the intention, diction (on the English piece), and the construction of sound atmospheres.
