Description:
The title of this work by Gauthier Dupertuis refers to the novel "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding, published in 1954.
"Lord oft he Flies" is supposed to be a small symphonic poem describing different episodes of the book: the despair of the children stranded on the island, the use of the unifying conch shell and symbol of democracy, the adventures and the formation of the camp and finally the cruelty of Jack's clan that undeniably leads to chaos. The ending is mysterious and semitone, permeated both by the relief of having been saved and by a deep sadness associated with the tragic events.
All the main themes and elements developed in the work come from the idea "D-E-F", which is revealed from the first bars. The orchestration is intended to be geometrically more or less variable, avoiding the main instrumental difficulties. However, the composer wanted to find as many colors as possible and not limit himself to too "simple" harmonies.
"Lord of the Flies": a piece accessible to most wind orchestras.
