The film noir genre of 1940s cinema typically includes a strong but flawed male lead (often a detective), a beautiful woman who coerces the male into committing murder or is a killer herself (a “femme fatale”), and a twisting plot line that involves one or more homicides. These movies typically are shot in black and white, with emphasis on shadows and light, alcohol and cigarettes, trench coats and fedoras. Most of the story lines do not have happy endings. Inspired by this genre, NOIR VIGNETTES consists of four movements, each depicting an aspect of film noir: Murder at Midnight, Loaded Gun, Femme Fatale, and Last Cigarette. String bass parts are provided both for standard orchestral tuning and for solo tuning.In the mid-1940s, film critics in France noticed a trend emerging in movies from the United States, which they coined film noir (which translates to “black film”). These movies were dark, moody, and pessimistic, reflecting the agitation and anxiety present in society following World War II. Several characteristics are commonly found in many of these movies, including a strong but flawed male lead (often a detective), a beautiful woman who either coerces the male lead into committing murder for her or is a killer herself (a “femme fatale”), and a twisting, turning plot line that involves one or more homicides. Additionally, there are several visual elements that these movies share: many are shot in black and white, with great emphasis on the use of shadows and light; alcohol and cigarettes are heavily consumed by men and women alike; and men typically wear trench coats and fedoras. Most of the story lines do not have happy endings. Examples of film noir include Orson Welles’ The Lady from Shanghai, Billy Wilder’s Double Indemnity, and John Huston’s The Maltese Falcon.NOIR VIGNETTES for Double Bass and Piano consists of four movements, each depicting a different aspect of film noir: Murder at Midnight, Loaded Gun, Femme Fatale, and Last Cigarette.This piece was commissioned by the University of Illinois Research Board on behalf of double bassist Michael Cameron.-Stacy Garrop.

Legend of a Mountain (Légende d’une montagne) raconte la légende de la Dent du Chat, une montagne située sur la rive Ouest du lac du Bourget dans le département de la Savoie (France). L’imposante introduction préfigure l’histoire dramatique que raconte la légende.Au pied de la montagne, non loin du lac, vivait jadis un pêcheur avec sa femme et leurs cinq enfants.Un thème paisible (en 6/8) évoque le pêcheur assis dans sa frêle barque dansant au milieu des eaux ondulantes du lac.Un jour, attendant en vain une prise, le pêcheur promit de rejeter l'eau le premier poisson qu'il attraperait dans l'espoir d'être récompensé pour son geste généreux. peineavait-il fait cette promesse qu'il sentit mordre son hameçon.

Sa femme et ses enfants l’adoptèrent et en prirent soin.Un thème lyrique s’élève de plusieurs pupitres de l’orchestre. Il reflète l’harmonie qui règne dans la famille du pêcheur. Ce sentiment d’harmonie chemine vers un motif plus incisif, suivi d’un coup de grosse caisse illustrant l’agressivité du chat. Au fil des mois, le chat devint agressif, allant jusqu’ mordre les enfants. Comme le pêcheur était superstitieux, il n'osait tuer le chat par crainte de malédiction. Il mit l'animal dans un sac et l'emmena très loin dans la montagne.La marche en montagne est illustrée par un thème ascendant.

Il vendit sa barque et devint b cheron. Le mauvais sort s'acharna sur lui. Il se blessa d'un coup de hache et.
