Description
Le Pont de pierre is a cycle of four melodies for voice and piano based on texts by the philosopher.
The first, which gives its title to the collection, flirts with functional tonality; the minor colors give it a melancholy that a repeated knell in the bass draws towards the funereal.
In "La vie passe" (Life Passes), the bells are omnipresent, with their effects of inharmonicity; marked morendo, the second part is bathed in a feeling of inevitability.
"Je crois, je n'y crois pas... " is the only melody to favor major colors. A syllabic writing seemed to me the most suitable to render this poetry of exactitude.
By far the longest of the melodies, "Soyez le bienvenu" opens with a solemn, hieratic canon, between voice and piano. The movement amplifies, thanks to an increasingly accelerating rhythmic coinage. Major and minor interfere with each other, before the piece ends in a climate of resignation.
