\"Countdown<\/a><\/p>\n

Eight days before the tenth Camac Festival gets underway in Nancy, the\u00a0fabulous e-gift for all you members of\u00a0the special mailing list<\/em> is another score – this time, a contemporary one by H\u00e9l\u00e8ne Breschand. In fact, you have a choice of three; one for Bardic harp, one for any sort of harp(s), and a graphic score.<\/p>\n

“J’enrage”, for Bardic, was written for the theatrical show “Double Face” (2009), where H\u00e9l\u00e8ne performed with Isabelle Moretti. It is a solo work inspired by and dedicated to Isabelle. “Antre de jeux” (“Lair of games”) can be played by several musicians at once, with their own choices of time and rhythm, as several versions. “I often write several versions of the same pieces”, says H\u00e9l\u00e8ne. “This is partly to adapt them to different types of harp, and partly because you don’t always find how to write the music down straight away. That can change. You find the music not\u00a0so much in the notes, but rather through\u00a0the attitude and heart that you bring to it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

All three works also use voice. I like music theatre very much, for example in the style of\u00a0Georges Aperghis, Jacques Rebotier, or Marie-H\u00e9l\u00e8ne Fournier. We are lucky to be able to play and sing, speak…laugh! At the same time.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Being a woman myself, all\u00a0three of my pieces here are also portraits of women. But in any case, they’re about a being at one with their instrument – their double, or their alter ego. “Sleeping Woman”, the graphic score, is not in any one category. Often it is singers who perform it; sometimes, of course, harpists. Not everything is laid down by\u00a0the notation: each performer can invent a story behind it, it is really to be interpreted.”<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
