Work & Edition Details
Commissioned by Frank Nuyts, Iris de Blaere and Voorwaarts Maart! / En avant Mars! festival in Ghent. Premiered by Arielle Valibouse and Hannah Van Den Borne, 1 March 2012, in De Bijloke in Ghent. When writing for two harps, one’s first idea could be to use all chromatism that is impossible to achieve with one single instrument. But I like to constrain and concentrate on a single aspect. In Rose, Liz that aspect is the vocal polyphony that found a culmination in the music of Guillaume de Machaut. His rondeau Rose, liz, printemps, verdure was the starting point for my piece. I stretched Machaut four-part original in several ways and distributed the voices over the two harps. With their constant tremoli they create a new and nervous vocal tradition — mechanically trembling and fluttering, like the love of which Machaut sings in his rondeau. The result is a field of shimmering harmonies, around which original notes of the melody appear and disappear like poppies.
