Carneci, CM :: ...une main immense
Carmen Maria Carneci presents ...une main immense (...an immense hand), for contrabass or bass flute.
The seven fragments of this work are a quasi-reading of MAGDA CARNECI’s poem, a filtering of the text through the patterns developed by the flute. The remaining understandable words are scattered within the instrumental texture, thus carrying a new emotional weight. This, together with the new developed proportions in rhythms and form, prevents the composition from being simply illustrative. It is a sample of the composer’s manner of treating voice and instrument as a whole: the singing-speaking voice turns and mixes into the flute tones, which, in their turn, try to imitate vocal colors. In this work, as well as in other compositions of hers for voice, words and musical cells split and meet again in a vivid anamorphosis.
une main immense bears a dedication to Pierre-Yves Artaud.
Duration: 10'. For the advanced player.
