IN CENDRES, MUSICAL TENSION IS CREATED BY SOMETIMES BRINGING THE INSTRUMENTS AS CLOSE TOGETHER AS POSSIBLE IN ALL COMPOSITIONAL ASPECTS (SUCH AS PITCH, RHYTHM, DYNAMICS, ARTICULATION, COLOR), SOMETIMES LETTING EACH OF THEM EXPRESS THE MUSIC IN THEIR OWN MOST IDIOMATIC WAY. IN BETWEEN THESE EXTREMES ONE CAN FIND AN UNLIMITED NUMBER OF POSSIBILITIES TO CREATE MORE OR LESS HOMOGENIC MUSICAL SITUATIONS. THE AWARENESS OF THIS VARIETY WAS THE ROPE ON WHICH I WAS BALANCING WHEN WORKING ON THE PIECE." (K.S.), GRAMMAR OF DREAMS WAS BORN FROM MY CURIOSITY OF THE RELATION OF HUMAN VOICE TO INSTRUMENTS, A SUBJECT WHICH I HAD PUT ASIDE FOR MANY YEARS. AS THE TITLE OF THE PIECE PROPOSES, ANOTHER SOURCE OF INTEREST HERE WAS THE STRUCTURAL LIFE OF DREAMS. THE MAJOR PART OF THE TEXT IS A COLLAGE FROM THE TEXTS OF PAUL ELUARD. |
