La bonne chanson : for voice and orchestra, 2001 / text: Paul Verlaine, Maarten van Norden
Overige auteurs:
Verlaine, Paul
(tekstdichter/librettist)
Toelichting:
Program note (English): La bonne chanson is written for the opening of the Dutch Music Days 2001 and was first performed on December 13 by the Metropole Orchestra conducted by Jan Stulen with mezzo-soprano Monique Scholte. The structure is A-B-A-B-A. The A sections use three poems by Paul Verlaine: 1. Le piano qui baisse une main frêle (1874, from the collection Romance sans paroles) - 2. Le bon disciple (1872, written for Verlaine's lover Arthur Rimbaud) - 3. La bonne chanson (1871). The romantic idiom of the poems is reflected in the music of the A sections. This is balanced by the more abstract instrumental B sections in which serial harmonies are developed through the use of set-theory, against a tight rhythmical background that sometimes reveals my roots in the jazz-rock idiom. - MAARTEN VAN NORDEN
