Par MANTOVANI BRUNO. Le mot 'Thrénos' vient de la Grèce antique et désigne une lamentation funéraire, pouvant être musicale ou littéraire. Même si certains compositeurs modernes tels qu'Igor Stravinsky ou Krzysztof Penderecki ont donné ce titre à certaines de leurs oeuvres, la Renaissance constitue l'âge d'or des lamentations contemplatives. Généralement, un 'thrénos' est une pièce lente, voire statique. J'ai fait le choix opposé. Cela entraîne ici une célébration à la fois violente, virtuose et extravertie. L'aspect militaire vient de l'utilisation de 4 caisses claires, créant un continuo étendu à l'orchestre à travers les trémolos des cordes et les bisbigliandi des instruments à vent. Le tissage est ainsi dense, même dans les passages les plus éthérés, tirant vers le son blanc, voire jusqu' à la saturation. Thrénos est une commande du Chicago Symphony Orchestra à l'occasion de la célébration du centenaire de l'Armistice de la Première guerre mondiale. Bruno Mantovani/ Répertoire / Orchestre
