Paul Wehage - L'Aube Spirituelle

Digital Sheet Music

Item Number: A0.532769

This quartet for flute and string trio was commissioned by and dedicated to the Hélios Ensemble of Paris. Freely inspired by the poem of the same name by Charles Baudelaire, this quartet in three movements isderived essentially from the slow motif which begins the works, which generates most of the musical materialwhich follows. The style is more linear than harmonic. The four-part invention which opens the work isfollowed by the second section (played without interruption) which is a kind of long suspended melody. The third movement is a quick scherzo with a final evocation of the opening motif before a brief coda.L’AUBE SPIRITUELLE (Les Fleurs du Mal)Quand chez les débauchés l’aube blanche et vermeilleEntre en société de l’Idéal rongeur,Par l’opération d’un mystère vengeurDans la brute assoupie un Ange se réveille.Des Cieux Spirituels l’inaccessible azur,Pour l’homme terrassé qui rêve encore et souffre,S’ouvre et s’enfonce avec l’attirance du gouffre.Ainsi, chère Déesse, Être lucide et pur,Sur les débris fumeux des stupides orgiesTon souvenir plus clair, plus rose, plus charmant,À mes yeux agrandis voltige incessamment.Le soleil a noirci la flamme des bougies ;Ainsi, toujours vainqueur, ton fantôme est pareil,Âme resplendissante, à l’immortel Soleil !
