L'argile, la forme, le ravin du monde . . .
Violin solo
Nicolas Gilbert
L'argile, la forme, le ravin du monde (Argil, shape, the world’s ravine), can be read Le matériau, la forme, le Tao (Material, shape, Tao). There are but four ingredients: my fetish tone row, a very long melody, a touch of folklore and some small sparks. This piece was premiered in Montreal by the violinist, Émilie Caron during the “Semaine de la musique québécoise pour cordes” in November 2001.
