Par JARRELL MICHAEL. I had already discovered texts from Gongora for some time in the bilingual edition of the Dogana, beautifully translated by Philippe Jaccotet. I found those poems were really rich, impossible to reduce to a single meaning. This is what drove me to use one of this author's sonnets at the time, in its original language, and to compose Eco for voice and piano.
Recently, I discovered a German translation of that same sonnet and was struck by its entirely different interpretation. It gave me the idea to get back to the original text (and Eco) and add three other movements to it. Two of them using the French and German translations, and another one exclusively instrumental. Four different points of view of the same 'object', kind of like a spectator turning around a sculpture and discovering new aspects, new readings. / contemporain / Répertoire / Soprano et Ensemble
