« Maryam de Magdala » est un tableau lyrique en un acte et en vers, pour voix solistes et orgue.
Conçu d’un seul tenant, il est construit comme un grand dialogue se déployant tout au long des quelques 80 minutes que dure l’oeuvre - véritable petite pièce de théâtre mise en musique.
En une même unité de temps, de lieu et d’action, quelques protagonistes vont venir y confronter leurs sentiments et convictions, nous faisant par là même pénétrer dans l’intimité de leur coeur, et de leur âme.
Tout au long de cette confrontation, la force évocatrice du langage poétique viendra se doubler de la puissance expressive d’une musique dont la tonalité très affirmée n’hésitera pas à venir s’émailler de dissonances certaines.
Au final, une action théâtrale où, tour à tour, se succèderont instants de tension dramatique et moments d’envolées lyriques...
================
"Maryam of Magdala" is a 'lyrical paiting' in one-act and verses, for solo voices and organ.
Designed as a one-piece work, it is built as a large dialogue that unfolds itself throughout a 80 minutes long score – as a little drama set to music.
In a same unit of time, place and action, a few protagonists come and share their feelings and beliefs, making us entering into their heart and soul's intimacy.
Throughout such exchanges, the evocative force of the poetic language is supported by the expressive power of the music, whose very tonal nature is however peppered with some dissonances.
With, in the end, a dramatic action where moments of dramatic tension alternate with flights of lyricism...
