(1993)Since its premiere by the Baltimore Symphony in 1994 at Carnegie Hall the GRAMMY®-winning Metropolis Symphony has entered the orchestral repertoire and been performed by orchestras all over the world.Metropolis Symphony is a five-movement musical response to the world of Superman and Krypton refers to the exploding planet from which the infant Superman escaped. A dark microtonal sound world is createdby glissandi in the strings trombone and siren. Two percussionists play antiphonal fire bells throughout the movement as it evolves from a recurring solo motive in the cellos into ominous calls from the brass section. Graduallythe movement builds toward an apocalyptic conclusion. Duration - ca. 7:00

Commissioned by the French Government and Musica Strasbourg.As the title suggests Trois rivières is divided into three separate sections. The first part introduces all the instrumental colours used in the piece. The rhythmicaspect is here nearly eliminated giving room for the timbral scales colours resonances attacks and textures to come to the fore. The instruments come from all members of the percussion family but unpitched instruments aregiven a primary role.The second part adds a rhythmic aspect to the nuances of colour and texture as an ostinato is developed in markedly varying directions.The last part is an epilogue recalling components of the twopreceding parts. Here earlier aspects of the material are reorganised and placed in different relationships to each other.The voices of the percussionists act together as an extension of the instruments being used to createeither rhythmically free textures or strictly notated rhythms. They are treated instrumentally combining to create rhythms and timbres. The poem 'La nuit de lune sur le fleuve' (Moonlit night on the river) by the Chinese poet LiPo (701-762) constitutes the material for the voices which are amplified and further enhanced throughout.

Par MURAIL TRISTAN. Sables reprend certains des partis pris d'Altitude 8000, en les poussant plus loin: absence d'événements ponctuels (aucun son percussif), continuité extrême (aucun silence, si ce n'est au début de la pièce...). Les notes sont considérées comme de simples 'grains de sable' dont l'accumulation va créer des formes, des 'dunes'. La pièce n'est pas encore véritablement spectrale, mais utilise déjà des phénomènes de résonance naturelle. La note de programme écrite à l'occasion de la création précise: 'Le système harmonique utilise les seuls points de référence objectifs... qui sont les résonances naturelles et le bruit blanc, symbolisé par le cluster. La trame harmonique est en évolution permanente: il n'y a pas à un moment donné 'une harmonie', mais un processus de transformation harmonique qui est en cours... Le parti pris non événementiel entraîne qu'il est impossible de distinguer des parties distinctes. On peut seulement considérer cinq régions séparées par des moments où le (les) processus d'évolution se renverse(nt). Tout est soumis à cette règle: trame harmonique, orchestration, densités, intensités, architecture à un moment donné. Toutefois les processus en cours dans chaque ordre de phénomène ne sont pas nécessairement concomitants, et il existe des processus 'croisés'... Le principe de continuité entraîne une écriture 'microcosmique': les notes n'ont pas d'importance par elles-mêmes. On ne les individualise pas, on entend seulement l'évolution qui résulte de leur présence... Tristan Murail / contemporain / Date parution : 1975-01-01/ Répertoire / Orchestre
