Enivrez-Vous! : for reed quintet / Jan-Peter de Graaff
Other authors:
Graaff, Jan-Peter de
(Composer)
Description:
Enivrez-Vous ! (Get drunk!) leans its title from the poem with the same name by Charles Baudelaire. In four movements this piece describes different forms of being drunk, both in metaphorical as in literal sense.
1. Proverbs: Drunk by wisdom: A strict and obsessive melody that develops into something more nuanced and colorful, until it dozes off…
2. Ecclasiastes: Drunk by conviction: An obsessive hammering movement altered by distracting wave forms and a drunk organist who fails to perform a hymn.
3. Lamentations: Drunk by grief: A lumping melody, sobbing forwards until it bursts…
4. Canticles: Drunk by love: A waltz not knowing what it should do with itself but spinning into eternity.
