Program Notes
"I see him satiating himself under an oak tree, quenching his thirst at the first stream, finding his bed at the foot of the same tree that provides his meal; and here are his needs satisfied." I feel sad to have known the difference between wildlife and that of a human who is not.
Reading the descriptions of wildlife in Rousseau's Discourse on the Origin and Basis of Inequality Among Men, I couldn't stop feeling sorry for the wildlife. This piece is about their lives, running, fighting, screaming, sleeping only to wake up, coming back to hurt themselves and die in a corner. The idea I have favored in this piece is rupture (silence). Paradoxically, the rupture makes us wait for what comes next, and gives us the desire to hear a continuity.
I launch the two main materials of percussion (timpani) and piano. By adding a background of string sonority and brass interventions, I expand the sound space that accompanies these two main components. Then the brass interventions come to the fore, creating a climax to the first part. For the middle and final sections, I make good use of the notion of registers. I reinforce the idea of rupture I have mentioned earlier, by leading into the low register, and then at the end a great mass of sound rises into the high register.
