Sepulchral City
Music for Clarinet in Bb, Cello and Piano
clarinet in Bb, cello and piano
Cette pièce a été inspirée à Christian Jost par la nouvelle de Joseph Conrad "Au coeur des ténèbres", dans laquelle Marlow, le protagoniste, dit en évoquant Bruxelles : "En quelques heures, j'arrivai dans la ville qui me fait toujours penser à un sépulcre blanc."
Dans "Sepulchral City", le titre se réfère à Jérusalem, la ville des tombes blanches. Le trio de Jost thématise un voyage dans l'âme et l'esprit vivant d'une ville sans qu'il soit nécessaire de se mouvoir physiquement pour trouver le coeur d'une obscurité impénétrable : elle est à l'intérieur des murs de la cité.
Sur ce point, "Sepulchral City" équivaut à une composition sous forme de glas. Même la section centrale, animée, possède une force plus insistante qu'évolutive. A la fin il ne reste plus qu'à inspirer puis expirer.
Product Details
Description
In this trio, as in most of his compositions, Jost has pictures and associations with true incidents, films and novels in his mind. What inspired him to write this piece was Joseph Conrad's novel 'Heart of Darkness' in which the protagonist Marlow says about the city of Brussels: 'In a few hours I arrived in a city that always make me think of a whited sepulchre.'
In 'Sepulchral City', a work commissioned to mark the tenth anniversary of the Jerusalem Chamber Music Festival, however, the title refers to Jerusalem, the city of white tombs. The topic of Jost's trio is a travel into the soul and living spirit of a city, with no physical movement being needed to find the heart of impenetrable darkness: It lies within the city walls.
In this respect, 'Sepulchral City' equals a compositionally unfolded funeral bell. Even the animated middle section rather has insisting than progressive power. At the end, the only thing to do is to inhale and exhale.
