Luciano Berio Récit [Chemins VII] (1996) versione per saxofono alto solo, ensemble di dodici saxofoni e percussione di Vincent David e Claude Delangle (1998-2001) Partitura UE 33208 Prefazione ‘Qualche tempo dopo aver suonato a Palermo la pri- ma esecuzione di Récit (Chemins Vil) con VOrchestra Sinfonca Sicilana, poi al Festival di Milano Musica, e alla Cite de la Musique a Pargi, mi é stata af-data, nel 1998, a direzione atistca della grande manitestazione pubbiica «Tous en Scénes. Ho quindi chiesto al Mae- ‘tro Luciano Berio $e volesse scivere un lavoro per un ensemble motto grande 6i saxofon, tipo il lavoro per 1000 musicisti dilettant peri quale aveva dato un suo contribute a Lile qualche anno prima, Purtroppo il maestro non aveva tempo di scrivere cual cosa nel tempo disponible, tuttavia lu stesso mi sug- geri dl trascrivere Réctt(Chemins V1) per un ensemble i saxofori, cosa che realazai con Vincent David. Composite ha letto nostro lavoro con attenzione e ha ascallaa ia registrazione delia prima versione (per solsta,quarttto di saxofon’ principale, e otto altri saxo- ‘oni trovavamo nel palco del maestro nel period in cul dingeva un'esecuzione di Réct con la Fllarmonica . Jai alors demande @ Maestro Luciano Berio déctire une ‘euvre pour trés grand ensemble de saxophones dans la ignée de fanuvre pour 1000 musicens amateurs a laquelle il avait apporté sa contribution a Lile quelques années plus tot Le maestro vavatt matheureusement pas le temps de composer dans le delal impart; Cest alors lu-méme quirm’a conse de transcrite Réct (Chemins VM) pour ensemble de saxophones, ce que ja realise avec Vin- cent David. lla lu atlentwement noe travail et ecouse Tenregisement de la premiere version (alors realisée pour solste, quatuor de saxophones principal et hut Saxophones tuttistes): nous étions alors dans la loge du maitre crigeant la Phiharmonie de Cologne avec laquelle je jouals Réct i fut immediatement tres en- ‘thousiaste et me denna le consell de refondre les deux ensembles en un seul groupe de douze saxophones ‘ c'ajouter la percussion pour articuler davantage le ddiscours et sauligner ic et la les parties aigus, Nous avons effectué ce travail que jai soumis de nou- eau au maitre, cette fois-ci dans note loge des studios de la BBC a Londres ou nous reprenions le Réct avec Orchestre Philharmonique de la BEC. Je le revo's ‘encore prendre son crayon et comger certains passa ‘ges en me donnant un vertaale cours de composition’ ««LEnsemble de Saxophones est beaucoup plus homo- ‘gene que Frchestre symphonique: il faut cifferencier les couleurs en enrichissant les longues tenues qui ‘agissent comme des resonances de ia partie salste 9 1 ‘compose alors devant moi des variations timbriques ou melociques: notes repétées, fila, groupes de notes ‘en écno du soils, en me demandant de développer ‘ce travail sur fensembie de oeuvre. La demiere fois ‘que je ll ai morte le restate notre travail, en 2002 1 était veimant neureux du resulta et ma dt aves son humour habitue: «Vous voila avec une nouvelle ceuvre de Berio!» Claude Datangle septembre 2005, Preface ‘Alitie over a year after the premiere of Récit (Chemins Vi) withthe Orchestra Sinfonica Siciiana in Palermo, fellowed by a performance al the Milan Music Festival and then at the Cité de ia Musique in Paris, | was en- ‘rusted withthe artistic direction of a big public event “Tous en Sosne’ in 1998, At the time | asked Maestro Luciano Berio to write a work for a very large ensemble of saxophones, of the same type as tne work for 1000 ‘amateur musicians fo which he had made a contribu- tion in Lila few years earer Unfortunately, the composer did not have the time nec essary for this endeavour then; and thus he himself suggested that | transcribe Récit (Chemins VI) for an ensemble of saxophones, which I did together with Vin- cent David, Luciano Berio carefully read our work and listened to the recaraing of the (rst version (orginally ‘ot solo saxophone, saxophone quartet and eight ad- ditional saxophones): we were inthe composer's box fat the Cologne Phiharmanic with whom | was perform- ing Récit at the time, He was immediately enthusiastic ‘about i and suggested that | rework the two ensembles Into a single group of twelve saxophones, and adied the percussion to futher articulate the music an to un- deine the high notes here and there ‘We carried out these changes which | again presented tothe composer this time n our box atthe BBC studios. in London where we were rehearsing Réct with the BEC Philharmonic Orchestra, | can stil see him taking his pencil to correct certain passages giving me a real les- ‘on in composition! ‘The saxophone ensemble is much ‘more uniform than the orchestra; it is necessary to dit- {erentiate the colours by enriching the sustained notes ‘which function as the resonance of the soloist He then, \wrote in front of me a few timbral or melodic verations: repeated notes, “uttetenguing, groups of nates echo- ing the soloist, asking me to develop this idea through- ‘out the whole piece. The last time I showed him the result of our work, in 2002, he was realy pleased with i ‘and sai to me with his usual humour: Here you have ‘a new Berio piece!

Wir befanden uns in diesem Moment. In der Loge des Dirigenten der Kolner Phiharmoni, mit der ien Récit spelt.
