Composed by Caroline Charriere. Contemporary. Editions BIM #SAX9. Published by Editions BIM (ET.SAX9).ISBN 9790207003270.
La Voix meurtrie (The Bruised Voice) is an important milestone in my personal history. The first four measures have been extrapolated from an harmony exercise done in 1984 during my studies with Jean Balissat at the Lausanne Conservatory. He then strongly encouraged me to compose. Ten years later I “heard an extension to that exercise. Unwillingly, and unwittingly, the memory of a painful, obsessive event surfaced, developing in the first movement to the point of becoming a virtual nightmare. Panic, and violence dominate the second movement, interrupted by prayers and supplications for inner peace. A sort of breath is intended to lessen the tension prior to starting the third movement, one in which a grave song rises, reiterating the testimony of the past.
The work was premiered in Lausanne (Switzerland) in 1995 by saxophone player Laurent Estoppey and pianist, Myriam Migani.
