In 2022, T.S. Eliot’s poem "The Waste Land" celebrated its 100th anniversary. Its central themes—solitude, estrangement and a wounded world with an alarmingly uncertain future—are even more pressing today than they were 100 years ago. Boris Rogowski’s soundscapes embody the mood perfectly: The fear and darkness as much as the faint, yet stubborn hope for the light of a new day.

The "Tournidjaire Lemosina" (in Occitan) is a traditional dance from Limousin, inherited from a rich folk heritage where music served primarily to bring people together and celebrate. Its name comes from the idea of ​​turning, of twirling, and it is characterized by a lively and catchy rhythm, often marked by repetitive melodic phrases that encourage collective dancing. A part of intangible heritage, it is gradually disappearing from the Limousin choreographic and cultural landscape.

Transposed to the symphony orchestra, the Tournidjaire takes on a new dimension. The orchestra's varied colors and timbres support the festive and vigorous character of this rural dance: the strings provide the fluidity of the circular movement, the woodwinds translate the light and playful motifs, while the brass and percussion instruments emphasize the popular energy and rhythmic liveliness.

This rewriting does not betray the original spirit: it preserves the popular momentum, the regular pulse and the communicative joy of Limousin dance, while opening it up to the breadth and richness of sound of a large symphonic formation. La Tournidjaire thus becomes a bridge between tradition and modernity, between the memory of the land and universal musical language.

La Tournidjaire Lemosina (en occitan) est une danse traditionnelle du Limousin, héritée d’un riche patrimoine populaire où la musique servait avant tout à rassembler et à célébrer. Son nom vient de l’idée de tourner, de virevolter, et elle se caractérise par un rythme vif et entraînant, souvent marqué par des phrases mélodiques répétitives qui incitent à la danse collective. Issue du patrimoine immatérielle, elle disparait peu à peu du paysage chorégraphique et culturel limousin.

Transposée à l’orchestre symphonique, la Tournidjaire prend une nouvelle dimension. Les couleurs et les timbres variés de l’orchestre supportent le caractère festif et vigoureux de cette danse rurale : les cordes apportent la fluidité du mouvement circulaire, les bois traduisent les motifs légers et espiègles, tandis que les cuivres et les percussions soulignent l’énergie populaire et la vivacité rythmique.

Cette réécriture ne trahit pas l’esprit originel : elle conserve l’élan populaire, la pulsation régulière et la joie communicative de la danse limousine, tout en l’ouvrant à l’ampleur et à la richesse sonore d’une grande formation symphonique. La Tournidjaire devient ainsi une passerelle entre tradition et modernité, entre mémoire des terroirs et langage musical universel.
