Summary of This Score
This score offers a set of sonnets set to music based on texts by Charles Baudelaire (excerpts from the Fleurs du mal ), conceived as a journey through images and inner states. The writing, designed for a unique quintet dominated by woodwinds (alto flute, English horn, bassoon) and supported by piano, places the voice at the center of a shifting soundscape that is at once sensual, mysterious, and deeply poetic.
In her notes, the composer claims an aesthetic lineage: a coloristic approach to harmony, meticulous attention to timbre, and the pursuit of restrained lyricism. The work thus fits within a gesture of singularity, in dialogue with the 20th-century heritage and particularly with the world of Henri Dutilleux, whose music is marked by its play of light, textures, and craftsman-like finesse.
Each sonnet unfolds a distinct vision: the evocation of a fantastic and fascinating nature with "La Géante", a mystical and processional dimension with "Le Flambeau vivant", and a dive into the inner "spleen" through the sonic metaphor of "La Cloche fêlée". Despite these contrasts, the whole maintains strong coherence: the three parts are built around vibrant and persistent sound layers, giving the music a hypnotic character that extends the evocative power of the text.
Premiered on July 20, 2016 in Paris (National Archives) during the Festival Jeunes Talents, the work was performed by Marie-Laure Garnier (soprano), Anna Besson (flute), Augustin Gorisse (English horn), Louise Lapierre (bassoon), and Guillaume Sigier (piano). A prime reference to enrich a contemporary chamber music program combining voice and woodwinds, both in concert and repertoire study.
