Summary of This Score
Résurgence
(or La Sorgue at Fontaine de Vaucluse) plunges us into the heart of a fascinating natural phenomenon: water suddenly bursts from the earth, unfolding in bubbling, foam clouds, and shimmering reflections, like a "little Provençal Niagara." The text connects this emblematic place in Provence to a broader cultural history, from Petrarch, who lived there before returning to Italy, to Franz Liszt, whose pages of the Années de pèlerinage echo Petrarch's sonnets and the water games of the Villa d'Este. In composing Résurgence
(or La Sorgue at Fontaine de Vaucluse), Tristan Murail claims this lineage: his music seeks to recreate the sensation of the springing forth, the density of the eddies, and the light of the iridescence, sometimes through instrumental techniques associated with Liszt. An ideal score for musicians seeking a narrative work, demanding in timbres and deeply evocative, where the sound material becomes landscape.
