Description
Mikko Nisula, Op. 47. Year of composition 2020. to Kari Turunen.
My epic choral work Les Rêveries was written in 2020. It is based on an extensive poem, Désir (Wish) from Harmonies poétiques and religieuses (1830) by Alphonse de Lamartine (1790-1869). Désir is a pantheistic vision in which the poet listens to various sounds of nature and realizes that they all tell in their own ways about the greatness of the Creator. Only humans must resort to words that struggle to express their overflowing feelings.
Before composing the music, I divided the text into four parts. The first section is a pastorale-like introduction, and the second section begins with a fugue depicting the stormy sea. The third section returns to the music of the beginning but develops into a culmination in a suddenly-reached Db major. The fourth section forms a short epilogue in tempo Largo e nobile. Musically one of my main intentions was to compose a piece that would bring some word-painting techniques of Renaissance madrigals into my own Neo-Romantic and Impressionistic idiom.
