MSM Symphony - STRAUSS Till Eulenspiegels Lustige Streiche, Op. 28, Trv 171

(Extrait des notes de programme - Charles E. Jacobs)
De prime abord, la férocité du Psaume 24 peut surprendre; est-ce que sa genèse, en pleine frénésie guerrière, a pu en influencer la composition? L’ensemble instrumental, où dominent les cuivres, évoque la musique militaire et la compositrice en extrait des sonorités parfois rauques. Pourtant, cette oeuvre de petite dimension est remarquable par son souci du détail; elle témoigne d’un grand raffinement dans l’orchestration, et d’une grande économie du matériau musical. Ainsi, les fanfares qui ponctuent les interventions chorales ont un rôle thématique réel et la variation des sonorités instrumentales donne un caractère distinct à chaque passage. Malgré son jeune âge, la compositrice a une vision singulière de l’harmonie et de l’orchestration, qui est marquée par un goût pour la brillance et les sonorités ouvertes. Pourtant, dans les passages plus calmes, on devine des échos de la musique de Claude Debussy. Ce dernier, en révélant les possibilités expressives de l’orchestration et en « individualisant » l’harmonie, a influencé toute une génération de compositeurs. Les plus talentueux d’entre eux, comme Lili Boulanger, ont su profiter de la voie qu’il avait tracée pour ensuite suivre leur propre chemin.
