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 meant to be a small symphonic poem describing various 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 formation of the camp, and finally the cruelty of Jack's clan that undeniably leads to chaos. The ending is mysterious and semitonal, imbued with both the relief of having been rescued and 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, and avoids 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 perfect piece for orchestra with limited instrumentation.
