Par WOLFF JEAN-CLAUDE. L'oeuvre s'articule en trois parties enchaînées : Andante, Allegro, Allegro/Andante. Elle est construite sur la base d'une série de onze sons.

Composer's Note When I considered the ensemble of eight cellos I first thought of matt and dark textures. I also wanted to go back to some ideas on symmetry. While I was pondering all that I saw snow flakes fallingfrom the dark sky of the Finnish autumn. Focusing on the snow the idea of writing variations on it and its various forms became clearer in my mind.Nuages de neige is a uniform and linear texture in which I realise my firstimpressions of that ensemble. The two Etoiles de neige are based on the idea of symmetry and repetition: the first one develops up to a certain point where it doubles back as in a mirror image the second one consists of eightsections in which the harmonic structure is repeated as well as a linear gesture that becomes ever more present. Aguilles de glace focuses on different pizzicati and superimposed ostinati. With Fleurs de neige I sought to recallthe texture of those harmonic trills at the end of the first section although more airy and diversified here. Kaija Saariaho

Erkoreka sets a sixteenth-century poem which contemplates the eternal and boundless beauty of the heavens and mankind's earthy estrangement from this realm. At times solo cello lines rise out of the texture as if in a dialogue with the vocal line and at others they are divided into two choirs. Serene sections contrast with surging dymanics frenetic rhythms fierce accents and snap pizzicatos.

The music presents challenges in rhythm, tonality (various keys), and musical expression and also serves as a music appreciation course, inspiring the student to want to hear the entire piece. William Starr has drawn the contents from various sources, including oratorio, opera, piano, and organ.
