3 ABOUT THE MUSIC CLAUDE DEBUSSY (born St Germain-en-Laye, France, 1862; died Paris, 1918) Parallels have always been drawn between Debussy s delicately sensuous wash of sounds and the play of light and water in the paintings of the Impressionists. However, his music is more accurately compared to the Symbolist poets and painters who also flourished in France in the closing decades of the 19th century. The Symbolists envied music s freedom from concrete ideas and images; they strived to capture its ability to express the inexpressible, to allude to meaning without stating it openly. The three leading poets named in a Symbolist manifesto were Charles Baudelaire, Stéphane Mallarmé and Paul Verlaine; Debussy set the poetry of all three to music and even wrote his own poetry in a similar style. Clair de lune (Moonlight), is drawn from Debussy s Suite bergamasque for piano. It alludes to a Verlaine poem of the same name, of which Debussy was clearly fond since he also set it as a song twice. While the poem conjures images of old-fashioned masqueraders, Debussy s impression seems to capture Verlaine s calm moonlight, sad and lovely, that makes the birds dream in the trees and the fountains sob with ecstasy The Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun refers to Mallarmé s most famous poem ( L Après-midi d un faune ), a dreamlike account of a faun remembering an amorous encounter with two wood-nymphs. Debussy s languorous daubs of sound evoke Mallarmé s sultry atmosphere; the flowing lines demonstrate the arabesque style related both to Moorish architecture and the tendrils of curling hair seen on the women of the Art Nouveau. One of the foremost concerns of French composers in the late 19th century was the establishment of a palpably French musical style, an alternative to the Austro-Germanic traditions that had dominated European composition for several hundred years. Debussy s contribution to this was not always recognised at the time, particularly by the older, more Pierre Boulez once said that modern music awoke with the premiere of Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun. On 22 December 1894, in the Salle d Harcourt, Paris, the faun s flute ushered in a new world of structure, rhythm, harmonic relations and colour, and perhaps, more than any other single work, reoriented the development of music in the succeeding century. Those nymphs, I want to perpetuate them. So bright, Their light rosy flesh, that it flutters in the air Drowsy with tangled slumbers. Did I love a dream? My doubt, hoard of ancient night, draws to a close In many a subtle branch, which, themselves remaining true wood, prove, alas! that all alone I offered Myself as a triumph the perfect sin of roses. Extract from Mallarmé s Afternoon of a Faun translated by Alan Edwards
4 conservative generation of French musicians. One critic commented that the Debussyan mist was every bit as bad as the Wagnerian fog. The composer Camille Saint-Saëns said that the Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun had a pretty sound but was no more a piece of music than the palette on which a painter has been working is a picture. More recently, Debussy s composition has been described by many (including Pierre Boulez) as the birth of modern music, and the epitome of French compositional style. SEBASTIAN HARRIS (born Tasmania, 1981) About the Composer Sebastian Harris studied bassoon at the University of Melbourne, and composition at the Victorian College of the Arts. His work Colonial Dreaming (2002) was composed as part of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra s Young Composers Program. He worked as composer, musical director, and performer for Chaology (2004), a collaborative audio-visual publication funded by the City of Melbourne. He has also had works performed as part of An Evening with Leunig at the Astor Theatre, and The Conservative Preference: An Electoral Recital, an experimental performance of new chamber music at the VCA s Grant Street Theatre. About the Music Many of Harris works are named for the form they are in or the purpose they serve, often with a degree of historical allusion. Harris writes that he composes with the intention of using the practices of the past to realise the necessary expressions of the future. The Motet draws its title from perhaps the most significant form of vocal polyphony between the 13th and 18th centuries. While Harris s work has neither text nor voices, the composer believes that they are connected as spiritual expressions. Harris s Motet meditates on the cycle of life and death; the work is born out of silence and returns to stillness, with the sometimes frantic musical lines growing organically out of each other along the way. The work s own structure is not cyclic but semi-palindromic, a single arc that seems to remind us that from dust we are created, and to dust we must return. The Motet was originally composed for trombone quintet in and orchestrated in its present form in NOTES BY ANGHARAD DAVIS AYO MUSIC PRESENTATION FELLOW
