Dix poèmes op. 102 for piano and recitator

Description

Commemorating the ten years since the death of the poet Paul Gagnaire, the piece highlights
ten of his poems. The music follows the construction of each poem: its form, colours and
rhymes, and of course its inner world. It is a tribute to the poet’s talent.
There are two options for a performance: 1. a concert with the participation of a narrator who
reads the poems in the order specified in the poet’s edition or 2. a performance without a narrator
(duration: 22 minutes).

I . La muse involontaire

II . Anaïs

III . La rosée noire

IV . Souffle

V. Le destin du poète

VI. En mémoire d’une fleur

VII. Pense à nous

VIII. Endors-toi

IX. Le sablier de pierre

X. En buvant la rosée
