Summary of This Score

Burningby Edith Canat de Chizy is a chamber music work conceived for a unique ensemble: clarinet, piano, violin, and cello. The composer explains having carefully considered this formation with Françoise Thinat, dedicatee of the piece, as a nod to the centenary of Olivier Messiaen's birth, by adopting the instrumentation of the Quatuor pour la fin du tempswithout adopting its aesthetic: here, the gesture is described as more eruptive, more direct, and the comparison ends with the instrumentation.

The piano is not merely harmonic support: its writing is treated equally, in a fusional manner, in close dialogue with the clarinet and strings. The work draws on a powerful poetic imagination, that of the Irish poet William Butler Yeats, and the tension between opposites his poetry stages. Three themes run through this inspiration: fire (flash, combustion, rebirth), song (a space of reconciliation between the absolute and the real), and the "final joy," an ultimate joy embodied in dance, rhythm, and the exaltation of the moment.

These elements structure the three movements of the piece: a rhythmic and timbral trajectory animated by ostinatos, moving from stridency to melodic line, from brilliance to oscillation, culminating in a progressive purification "so that all things fade away." An ideal score for ensembles wishing to explore contemporary music through a refined work of balance, color, and intensity.
