Summary of this score
Haunted nights takes its title from a jazz standard by Duke Ellington and fits within a rhythmic lineage evoking the tradition of big band writing while opening, through the layering of illustrative elements and the autonomy of melodic discourse, to freer perspectives. Bruno Mantovani constructs music based on complementary tensions: the permanence of a slow and steady pulse (ensured by the rhythmic base) contrasted with rapid, incisive, almost animalistic flights of energy carried by the solo instruments. The piece constantly plays on the contrast between stability and outbursts, between periodicity and freedom, giving the trio a very theatrical breath and great clarity.
At the center, the clarinet plays a particularly expressive role: the cadenza juxtaposes an unchanging swing between two notes (E and G) and interventions of phrases, attacks, and sound colors with an improvisatory character. The work opens with an interrogative episode in "smooth time," then the pulse asserts itself, immediately disrupted by irregular accents. The vibraphone sometimes acts as a unifying instrument for the trio, while certain sections play on very clear periodicities (up to six groups of triplet sixteenth notes), or, conversely, on a fragmentation of discourse among the three instruments. Commissioned by the Festival de l'Empéri, Haunted nights is dedicated to Jérôme Chabannes and stands, within the composer's output, as an entertainment nourished by popular and improvised music, serving forms based on conflict, juxtaposition, and the obviousness of the musical gesture.
