Dans l'Entrelacs des Roses-Pierres

Description

Why "the Entrelacs des Roses-Pierres?"
This refers to the alchemical work that sees the transmutation of lead into gold as a nice metaphor for a revelation of all values, the only condition against numbness and the effect of entropy. In the Entrelacs des Roses-Pierres, the influences are clear and acknowledged: Stravinsky (the titles Straw and The Fox), Bach (the Circle), Bartok (the canon in Tanger), Duruflé (La petite Marche), Kodaly, Tormis (Estinien), Phil Glass.
Patrick Gauthier engages in harmonic and rhythmic games (influence of the music of Christian Vander) often tense but always in service of the melody. It alone prevails and justifies the Whole. Biography
