Text: Gautier,
Theophile.
A
prevailing melancholy
mood is characteristic of
Theophile Gautier's
(1811-1872) poetry; a
melancholy mood which
inspired composers such
as Hector Berlioz and
Gabriel Faure to compose
settings. Tristesse
(Sadness) is taken from
the 1838 collection La
Comedie de la Mort (The
Comedy of Death). With
over 50 poems this is
regarded as Gautier's
major Romantic work.
Although the narrator in
the poem is conscious of
the joy and zest for life
of spring coming into
bloom around him, he
cannot share this: Helas!
j'ai dans le coeur une
tristesse affreuse.
(Alas, in my heart I bear
a terrible grief.).
Faure's setting portrays
this effect less as a
dramatic sigh than a
melancholic unworldliness
with peaceful piano
accompaniment in the
minor key. This
art song was originally
composed not for chamber
choir, but for solo voice
and piano. Denis Rouger
has carefully adapted it
to suit the requirements
and expressive
possibilities offered by
a larger ensemble,
without losing any of the
qualities of the original
in the process. Each part
in the choir has a
melodic line drawn from
the harmonic and rhythmic
framework. In the
process, the variety and
refinement of the choral
language combines with an
enormous flexibility in
form and expression, as
French melodies or German
art song demand from a
soloist and
pianist.The songs
have been recorded by the
figure humaine chamber
choir on the CD ... Wo
die Zitronen bluhn (Carus
83.514).

Text: Victor
Hugo.
In his poem
Soiree en mer, Victor
Hugo describes how the
sea can be perceived very
differently by two lovers
at the same time in the
same place. While the man
perceives the deepening
shadows on the dancing
waves, the woman marvels
at the stars shining ever
brighter in the
firmament. In nature, as
in the words of the poem,
the painful ambiguity
that represents life at
its core can be
experienced. Like no
other poet, Hugo captures
this almost unbearable
simultaneity of living
and dying, of love and
suffering. Saint-Saens
translates this into
music - probably the most
ephemeral and
contemporary of all art
forms. His balanced
musical form leaves
plenty of room for the
poetry and his subtle
variations in timbre,
which also inspired Denis
Rouger to his choral
arrangement, create a
seething motion under the
surface of the
sea.
This art song
was originally composed
not for chamber choir,
but for solo voice and
