Description:
La Voix meurtrie (The Bruised Voice) is an important milestone in my personal history. The first four measures have been extrapolated from a harmony exercise done in 1984 during my studies with Jean Balissat at the Lausanne Conservatory. He then strongly encouraged me to compose. Ten years later I 'heard' an extension to that exercise. Unwillingly, and unwittingly, the memory of a painful, obsessive event surfaced, developing in the first movement to the point of becoming a virtual nightmare. Panic, and violence dominate the second movement, interrupted by prayers and supplications for inner peace. A sort of breath is intended to lessen the tension prior to starting the third movement, one in which a grave song rises, reiterating the testimony of the past.
The work was premiered in Lausanne (Switzerland) in 1995 by saxophone player Laurent Estoppey and pianist, Myriam Migani.
