Lalita-Nartya a été écrite sur la suggestion d'Eglantine Bisserier, danseuse odissi (danse classique de l'est de l'Inde). Cette pièce était destinée à l'accompagner sur une chorégraphie en partie préexistante. Ce sont donc des exigences chorégraphiquesqui ont commandé quelques-unes de ses caractéristiques essentielles, notamment sa structure rhapsodique et ses fréquents changements de rythme et de climat. Le défi de l'écriture consistait à donner une unité formelle à la pièce sans contrarier le parcours chorégraphique déjà partiellement constitué. Quant au langage harmonique, il a été, logiquement, construit à partir de modes karnatiques, mais sans rechercher le pittoresque pour autant.Le titre, Lalita, (tout à la fois ' celle qui joue ', ' l'amoureuse ' ou ' la très belle '), est en même temps une évocation de la déesse Gaudi (dont Lalita est l'un des noms dans la religion hindoue) et un hommage à la grâce de la danseuse qui a inspiré la pièce (nrtya désigne tout ce qui se rapporte à la danse). Il signifie ainsi à la fois : ' la danse de la plus belle ', et ' le jeu de la déesse '.L'introduction expose dans la douceur un rythme pointé caractéristique qui unifiera toute la pièce, puis une brève anticipation du motif principal. Après un glissando affirmant la gamme, la danse commence par exposer plusieurs brefs motifsthématiques aux profils distincts, mais unifiés par la cellule rythmique originelle, et dont l'enchaînement propose divers contrastes agogiques ou dynamiques adaptésà la chorégraphie (le motif principal, déjà anticipé dans l'introduction, reviendra comme un leitmotiv tout au long de l'oeuvre). Survient une rupture dans le discours (mes. 65), qui introduit en fait une séquence un peu plus modérée, mais dontl'animation progressive mène à un climax construit sur le premier motif (mes. 88 et suivantes). Un decrescendo amène alors une dernière séquence (mes. 103 et suivantes), qui exploite une nouvelle fois le premier motif avant de mener, aprèsun dernier crescendo, jusqu'à une coda contemplative et éthérée.Laurent COULOMB / Grande Harpe Seule

The years between 1900 and 1925 in Paris were some of the most fruitful in the history of harp repertoire. Debussy?s ?Danses sacree et profane? and his ?Sonate pour flute, alto, et harpe,? Caplet?s ?Masque of the Red Death? and his ?Two Divertissements,? Gabriel Pierne?s ?Concertstucke? and ?Impromptu caprice,? and Ravel?s ?Introduction et Allegro? were among the many important compositions written during this period. Many harpists would give pride of place in this list, however, to Gabriel Faure?s ?Impromptu? and ?Une chatelaine en sa tour.?? now published here in one volume for the first time. These are both essentials for every serious student of the harp.
