to Sébastien Stein and the Harmonie de Forbach
After a first Euphonium Concert titledLibertaliait’s just a coincidence if this second Concerto is called Liberté !
Universal theme, forever evocative, indubitably uniting humankind towards a common purpose.
The score tries to be an allegory, with no event or object description at all, tempting to create alternately a restrictive atmosphere (a prison bars or the sheet music bars) then this of a totally «liberated» orchestra and soloist, impassioned, facing the infinite sensation of ‘all-possible’ that gives this freedom.
Paul Eluard’s poem «Liberté» is pronounced as the music goes (recording, offstage, narrator onstage,… depending on the possibilities).
