Henri Dutilleux

Version 2010-“Books talk to each other” - Umberto Eco’s statement could just as easily apply to music as Les Citations for Oboe Harpsichord Double Bass and Percussion by Henri Dutilleux (1916-2013) brilliantly proves. Written in 1991 the score was reworked by the composer for the Festival d’Auvers-sur-Oise where the new version premiered in June 2010. The origin of this work goes back to For Aldeburgh 85. Written for the 75th birthday of singer Peter Pears the piece takes up a fragment of Peter Grimes whose leading role had been written by Britten for the beloved tenor. Dutilleux adds a page titled FromJanequin to Jehan Alain in which appears a song from the Renaissance composer “L’espoir que j’ay d’acquerir vostre grace” used by J. Alain in his Variations for Organ on a theme by Clément Janequin. The junction between the two parties is made through an Interlude that introduces the “wolf’s moan” theme from the ballet Le Loup (The Wolf) composed by Dutilleux in 1953 for the troupe of Roland Petit. This subtle tangle of quotations forms a shimmering and sensual work where the uniqueness of an authentic artist powerfully asserts itself.

Les Citations by Henri Dutilleux is a diptych for Oboe Harpsichord Double Bass and Drums. Composed in 1985 for the Aldeburgh Festival this diptych is composed of two pieces: I. For Aldeburgh 85 and II. From Janequin to Jehan Alain. Very enigmatic this piece is very difficult to play and requires a very good level of theory. It is however perfect for concerts or recitals. The third section which was later added to this piece is not part of this book which only contains the scores for the first and second part for each instrument. Henri Dutilleux was internationally acclaimed for his workwinning prizes such as the Gold Medal of the Royal Philharmonic Society and the UNESCO's International Rostrum of Composers amongst many others. His work also includes a Piano sonata two symphonies the Cello concerto 'Tout un monde lointain' (A whole distant world) the Violin concerto 'L'arbre des songes' (The tree of dreams) and the string quartet 'Ainsi la nuit' (Thus the night).

Henri Dutilleux (1916-2013) was greatly influenced by his contemporaries Ravel Debussy and Roussel yet implemented his own unique style. His Les Citations for Oboe Harpsichord Double Bass and Percussion is unusual but still widely performed. This Dutilleux piece was first published in 1985 however the composer made two revisions in 1991 and 2010. Les Citations is unusual in instrumentation tonality rhythm and structure and exploits the extended techniques of all the instruments. The two movements of this 1995 publication are 1) For Aldeburgh and 2) FromJanequin to Jehan Alain. Dutilleux's Les Citations remains popular to this day and is an exciting piece for performers and audiences alike.

Sur le même accord (environ une seule corde) est - comme l'indique le sous-titre - un travail nocturne ressemblant. Bien qu'en un seul mouvement, en son centre, sont deux sections expressives, qui alternent avec une écriture plus rapide. Le soliste joue un rôle de concertante avec les ou / Violon Et Orchestre
