Format : Score and Parts
on two poems by Kiki Dimoula. Par JOST CHRISTIAN. Jost has set to music 'Melancholy' and 'Afternoon', two tender poems by Kiki Dimoula, the most important contemporary Greek lyricist. Combining the human voice with the sound of a string quartet, he treats the mezzo-soprano like an expressive musical instrument which is not just accompanied by the string quartet. Although each of the songs has its own sound image, a connecting passage, a fluid transition of the string quartet, is like a great arc over the entire work. Differentiated dynamics follow the text context; sound and character capture the atmosphere of a summer afternoon in Greece. In our edition, the music is preceded by the Greek original texts including translation; in the score, Latin letters are written underneath the original text./ Répertoire / Chant et Quatuor à Cordes
