Les mots d’Emily Dickinson rencontrent une musique d’une grande sérénité et d’un grand lyrisme créant une apesanteur poétique, à la recherche du silence dans le son. 

Le Quatuor Bozzini, l’Ensemble Dedalus, et la soprano berlinoise Peyee Chen se rencontrent pour offrir une performance méditative. Jürg Frey écrit des paysages sonores magistraux, calmes et vastes. Avec son oreille fine pour les couleurs, les sons et la précision, il compose une musique d’une grande sérénité et d’un grand lyrisme ; une apesanteur poétique, à la recherche du silence dans le son. Le compositeur nous décrit ainsi certains passages de l’œuvre: sons de la nature, nuages qui dansent, sons suspendus, passacaille et valse lente.

L’œuvre Grounds of Memory du compositeur suisse Jürg Frey, écrite pour le Quatuor Bozzini, l’Ensemble Dedalus et Peyee Chen est basée sur des textes d’Arakida Moritake, de Jürg Frey, et d’Emily Dickinson, notamment ses “poèmes-enveloppes” publiés récemment. Cet ouvrage, The Gorgeous Nothing, comprend des fragments manuscrits, des brèves pensées et des ébauches de poèmes écrits à la main sur des enveloppes usagées spécialement préparées pour cela, faits de mots éparses, de nuages de mots, de premières strophes de poèmes. Cette collection est une source libre d’inspiration et constitue, avec d’autres poèmes de Emily Dickinson, une base pour la composition. La sélection de textes et de poèmes touche à une sensibilité existentielle et évoque la vision d’un chemin qui continue à l’infini.

Emily Dickinson’s words meet music of great serenity and lyricism, creating a poetic weightlessness in search of silence in sound.

Quatuor Bozzini, Ensemble Dedalus and Berlin soprano Peyee Chen come together to offer a meditative performance. Jürg Frey writes masterful soundscapes, calm and vast. With his keen ear for color, sound and precision, he composes music of great serenity and lyricism; a poetic weightlessness in search of silence in sound. The composer describes some of the work’s passages as follows: sounds of nature, dancing clouds, suspended sounds, passacaglia and slow waltz.

Swiss composer Jürg Frey’s Grounds of Memory, written for Quatuor Bozzini, Ensemble Dedalus and Peyee Chen, is based on texts by Arakida Moritake, Jürg Frey and Emily Dickinson, notably her recently published “envelope poems”. This work, The Gorgeous Nothing, includes handwritten fragments, brief thoughts and drafts of poems written by hand on used envelopes specially prepared for the purpose, made up of scattered words, word clouds, first stanzas of poems. This collection is a free source of inspiration and, along with other poems by Emily Dickinson, forms a basis for composition. The selection of texts and poems touches on an existential sensibility, and evokes the vision of a path that continues to the present day.
