"Neige" d'Anne Hebert: http://www.barapoemes.net/archives/2016/09/07/34290920.html

Program Note:
Cent traces, sur de vastes plaines was inspired by Anne Hébert's poem "Neige" (snow). Submerged in its poetic image, the music follows its emotional trajectory and attempts to embody it through a language of resonance, harmony, and temporalities. The work was also peripherally influenced by the novel "Kamouraska" by the same author. Both texts depict a wintery dream-scape that devolves into a fever dream peopled with hazy memories. The opening five minutes contain three musical dreams composed using a collection of altered paraphrases from other piano pieces 'about' snow. These quotations appear the way characters in these dreams do: one might have an idea of who they represent from daily life (memory) even if for some reason they do not fully resemble that person. Over the course of the piece the boundaries between dreams erode and the recurring characters' identities become increasingly distorted. Musical memories appear, disappear and intermingle, culminating in a blurred mass and then a rupture.

Commissioned by the Luba Zuk Piano Duo Composition Competition.
Performed November 11th, 2019, Tanna Schulich Hall, McGill.
Composed January-May 2019 (Montreal/Baltimore).

Note de Programme:
Cent traces, sur de vastes plaines est inspiré du poème "Neige" d'Anne Hébert. Submergée dans son image poétique, la musique suit sa trajectoire émotionnelle et tente de l'incarner dans un langage de résonances, d'harmonies, et de temporalités. L'oeuvre a aussi été influencée par le roman "Kamouraska" de la même écrivaine. Les deux textes décrivent des rêves hivernaux qui s'écroulent et deviennent des rêves fiévreux éveillant d'ambigus souvenirs. Les cinq premières minutes contiennent trois rêves musicaux, chacun composés d'une citation altérées d'autres pièces pour piano 'au sujet de' la neige. Ces citations incarnent la façon dont ces personnages habitent ces rêves: on sait qui ils représentent dans notre vraie vie même s'ils ne se ressemblent pas exactement. Au fur et à mesure les frontières séparant ces rêves se déconstruisent et les identités de ces personnages se tordent. Les souvenirs musicaux apparaissent, disparaissent et se mélangent, menant à une masse nuageuse puis une rupture.

Pièce commandée par le concours de composition pour duo de piano Luba Zuk. 
Interprétée le 11 Novembre 2019, Salle Tanna Schulich, McGill. 
Composée janvier-mai 2019 (Montréal/Baltimore).

The Republic of the Southern Cross and Other Stories

By Valery Bryusov

Translated by Stephen Graham

In his lifetime, Valery Bryusov (1873 - 1924)  was best known as a translator and a Symbolist poet.  His prose works include the historical novels, The Altar of Victory and The Fiery Angel, and this collection of short stories,  which was assembled by the translator, Stephen Graham. 

Of his stories the author wrote: "they are written to show, in various ways, that there is no fixed boundary line between the world of reality and that of the imagination, between the dreaming and the waking world, life and fantasy; that what we commonly call imaginary may be the greatest reality of the world, and that which all call reality the most dreadful delirium."
