Genieting III : for tenor recorder, 2004 / Willem Boogman
Description:
Program note (English): 'La jouissance est un retrait en soi, une involution, ... une exaltation vibrante où le soi se lève.' (Emmanuel Levinas: 'Totalité et Infini', La Haye, 1974, p. 91). This work is the third in a series of solo compositions entitled Genieting (pleasure, enjoyment), the translation of the French jouissance used by the philosopher Emmanuel Levinas. I interpreted this term not only in the sense of what it means to be a soloist but also as the kind of music the soloist plays. In Genieting the music is brought back to its constituent elements, whence it is built up once again . - WILLEM BOOGMAN (transl. Jonathan Reeder)
