inspired by LUTOSLAWSKI’s poem “REPOS DANS LE MALHEUR”

This movement is derived from the atmosphere created by Lutoslawski’s third poem from the cycle “Trois poemes d’Henri Michaux”. More specifically, the opening and subsequent instrumental sections of the poem were my primary stimulus. Trois poèmes d'Henri Michaux was envisioned for a 20-voice choir and an orchestra of 23 musicians. Unusual for Lutosławski, there are no string instruments. As result, I have used the guitar in their place to create an opening for this three-movement piece.

The third poem Repos dans le malheur brings melancholic resignation and relief. I decided to re-tune the guitar (6th string to E flat) as a starting point for capturing this idea. Rather than using Lutoslawski’s “controlled aleatorism” technique (a method that gives freedom to the performer by giving them temporal control), I attempted to allude to it by controlling the time precisely through the use of constantly changing irregular time signatures.
