Product Description

This is a piece for string quartet and marimba.

The marimba is not a soloist but integrated into the ensemble. It's an instrument that resonates the wood directly, whereas string instruments make it vibrate. It's this blend that interested me.

As for the piece itself, I started with cells, melodic melismas that I repeat, which transform like a sort of gigantic metamorphosis. There's a brilliant section in the middle, which is a bit like lace, organic and more raw than at the beginning. For the finale, the strings continuously vibrate open strings to give the impression of an orchestra tuning.

Il s'agit d'une pièce pour quatuor à codes et marimba.

Le marimba n'est pas soliste, mais intégré à l'ensemble. Cest un instrument qui fait raisonner le bois directement alors que les instruments à cordes le font vibrer, c'est ce mélange qui m'intéressait.

Pour l'œuvre en elle-même, je suis parti de cellules, de mélismes mélodiques que je répète, qui se transforment comme une sorte de gigantesque métamorphose.
Il y a une partie brillante au centre, qui est un petit peu en dentelle, organique et plus brut qu'au début. Pour le final, les cordes vibrent à vide en permanence pour obtenir l'impression d'un orchestre qui s'accorde.
