Dialogue

Damase, J-M

Editions Henry Lemoine presents Jean-Michel Damase's 'Pantomimes' for flute and marimba.

Editions Henry Lemoine presents Damase's Dialogue for two flutes, first premiered by Nobutaka Shimizu and Paul Field in Tokyo, Japan (2005). This work was awarded an honorable mention by the National Flute Association in the Newly Published Music Competition in 2006.

'Born on 27 January 1928, Jean-Michel Damase composes in a style often compared to Gabriel Faure, Francis Poulenc, Maurice Ravel, Serge Prokofiev, Albert Roussel, and Stravinsky; incorporating many of the rhythmic and harmonic complexities associated with twentieth-century French music. Throughout his career, Damase has remained a traditionalist, 'continuing the post-tonal line of Debussy and Ravel without the modish interest in their deeper-seated implications.' Or, in the composers own words, 'I prefer sincerity to forced innovation.' His music is accessible without being lightweight; unabashedly melodic, with a distinct delight in 'obsessive' motifs; tonal, though, paradoxically, harmonically complex; rhythmically surprising; playful; respectful of tradition and form; and always superbly crafted.' -Chez Damase
