Premiere
Winnipeg Centennial Concert Hall 1997 The Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra Bramwell Tovey, conductor
Symphony #1 (The War of Angels) was written over a period of almost two years. It uses a rather traditional three movement form (fast-slow-fast) and while there is no real program (the titles were added very close to the end of the whole creative process), the musical ideas have an intensity and dialectic that led me to think of them as representing some sort of unearthly war. Angels have been the subject of human imaginings for millennia. From Milton to Rilke, the angelic image can often be more frightening than comforting. These mythical creatures have also become staples of the modern neo-gothic horror genre in movies and fiction and it seems to me that the dark harmonic colours and repressed intensity of my own musical ideas fit in rather well with this concept of otherworldly drama.
Symphony #1 (The War of Angels) fut composée sur une période de presque deux ans. Cette pièce a recours à une forme plutôt traditionnelle en trois mouvements (rapide-lent-rapide) et, bien qu’il ne s’agisse pas véritablement de musique à programme (les titres ont été ajoutés presque à la fin du processus de création), les idées musicales possèdent une intensité et une dialectique qui m’ont incité considérer qu’elles représentaient une espèce de guerre surnaturelle. Les anges inspirent l’imaginaire des hommes depuis des millénaires. De Milton à Rilke, les représentations angéliques sont souvent plus terrifiantes que réconfortantes. Ces créatures mythiques sont également devenues des personnages classiques des romans et films d’horreur modernes néo-gothiques, et je trouve que les harmonies sombres tout comme l’intensité réprimée de mes propres idées musicales conviennent plutôt bien à ce concept de drame d’un autre monde.
