Summary of This Score
"Cantate ndeg4" is part of Bruno Mantovani's series of cantatas, following those inspired by Rainer Maria Rilke, Giacomo Leopardi, and Friedrich von Schiller. For this fourth installment, the composer highlights the poet Paul Tymich, known notably for the text of the famous "Komm, Jesu, Komm!" set to music by Johann Sebastian Bach. Here, Mantovani primarily pays homage to Bach and the idea of continuo, reinvented with a rare and expressive instrumentation: cello and accordion, combined with the choir in a logic of fusion and timbral ambiguities.
The piece plays on the shifting identity of the three entities (accordion, cello, choir): sometimes clearly characterized, sometimes deliberately blurred, as if the colors overlap and exchange. The overall form evokes the chamber concerto, notably through the presence of numerous solos, both instrumental and even vocal, highlighting virtuosity and ensemble precision. The text is not treated uniformly: it remains partially intelligible at certain moments, then becomes the basis for more abstract writing, before fully reclaiming its role. Variations in prosody, at the heart of the vocal work, structure the overall architecture and enhance the musical drama. Dedicated to Sonia Wieder-Atherton, Pascal Contet, and Laurence Equilbey, the work was premiered with the Accentus chamber choir, the commissioner of the piece.
