Summary of This Score
In these "Four Melodies," Bruno Mantovani explores an idea as poetic as it is stimulating: to shift the flute, the quintessential Western instrument, toward a sonic identity inspired by Armenian tradition. The composer draws on the emblematic instrument of this repertoire, the duduk, whose expressive richness lies as much in the sound material as in the way breath transitions to timbre, from one pitch to another, and in the art of inflections.
Without offering a transcription of traditional pieces, the writing suggests this aesthetic through a contemporary approach to instrumental gesture: exploration of colors, sound transitions, phrasing flexibility, and emphasis on expressivity. The dual nature of Armenian music evoked by Mantovani is also present, capable of alternating rhythmic energy (ostinato techniques) and deep lyricism, like a song carried by breath.
Written as a required piece for the ARD Competition and premiered on September 3, 2010, in Munich, this score is intended for flutists wishing to enrich their recital repertoire with a short, dense, and highly characterized piece, ideal for working on projection, timbral palette, and attack precision within a contemporary language.
