"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 Koi Carp that dreamed of swimming in the ocean(naviarhaiku364)

My body succumbs in physiological response to soundwaves’ 
Bounce through auditory canals. A vibrational sustenance
Available to all of us and possess talent to treat ailments, like spiritual drugs
Interlace connectivity, free from psychological distortions and full of love’s
Intentional transparency: from thought to idea, to much needed relief.
The flipside of perfection’s brocade is imperfections gift of the struggle necessary for resistance in an otherwise life absent of struggle would not be nearly as entertaining. Like frigid days without soundwaves bumping from house party speakers while dancing in fire hydrant relief.  Luckily our creativity’s capabilities are limitless when conjuring sustenance, and our open-hearted passions and collaborative minds love to mingle with one another
-words by Ryan J. Stout

The Quest

Written by Chris de Burgh in 1975, "A Spaceman Came Travelling" topped the Irish charts a year after it was released. But it wasn't until 1986 with De Burgh's success of "The Lady in Red" that the UK took notice and it reached the top charts there, too.

The idea for the song came to de Burgh when he had just signed his first recording contract, and he read Chariots of the Gods? by Erich von Däniken. The book made him think "what if the star of Bethlehem was a space craft and what if there is a benevolent being or entity in the universe keeping an eye on the world and our foolish things that we do to each other?" The song also draws inspiration from William Butler Yeats' poem "The Second Coming," and tells a story of the birth of Christ being a recurring 2000-year event heralded by an intergalactic visitor.
