For four voices and three violas. Composed by Heinz Holliger. This edition: score for voice and/or instruments. Downloadable, Vocal and performing score. Duration 60 minutes. Schott Music - Digital #Q20007. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q20007).Old French.
In Heinz Holliger's works, the succinct term 'transcriptions' conceals multi-layered variants of the enigmatic source material and the most subtle diversification of sound, using the technical possibilities of the 21st century. In the complete, almost one-hour cycle, Machaut's original compositions, which are to be performed a cappella, have been interwoven with Holliger's transcriptions. Four of the transcriptions have been arranged for three violas alone. The traditional monophonic lay 'Amours doucement me tente', however, appears in a new four-part vocal setting. It is only in the concluding complainte 'Tels rit au main qui au soir pleure' that the singing voices join the violas.
Dans les œuvres de Holliger, le terme concis de transcriptions” cache des versions complexes de sources énigmatiques et les plus subtiles diversifications sonores avec les possibilités techniques du XXIe siècle. Les compositions originales de Machaut, qui s’interprètent a cappella, ont été entrelacées avec les transcriptions de Holliger.
