010 - Sophie Lacaze: La
Lune dans l'Eau, for
young storytelling
flautist In 1993,
composer Sophie Lacaze
chose the translucent
timbre of the flute to
explore the 'mysterious
origins' of vowels and
their association with
colours in Rimbaud's poem
Voyelles (NT 14 451 Z).
The composer's
fascination with this
age-old instrument has
never ceased to grow, and
was further impelled by
her encounter with
Pierre-Yves Artaud, to
whom she dedicated Les
quatre éléments and
Het Lam Gods II. Sophie
Lacaze has now produced a
score for young
storytelling flautist in
La Lune dans L'eau, a
study miniature initially
written for saxophone
students and published in
the Opensax collection
(AL 30 701). Written for
Year 3 and up, the piece
delicately interlaces
music and poetry, with
the musician pronouncing
aloud a haiku by Ueda
Chôshû (1852-1932):
'Though in a thousand
shards / It is always
there / The moon on
water.' With a wide
variety of techniques and
performance indications,
this volume is a
veritable kaleidoscope of
the flute's powers of
expression, though this
profusion never clouds
the limpidity of a unique
art: the art of
simplicity.andrdquo.
