Description
Designed in three movements, this oboe concerto evokes three "poetic states" of the day. The blue hour is the period between day and night when the sky fills with a blue darker than the daytime sky blue. It is in the first moments of the blue hour that all the birds begin to sing and in summer the scent of flowers becomes more intense. The exquisite hour is the moment of "A vast and tender appeasement" as Verlaine writes in the poem I quote at the beginning of this slow movement. The fleeting hour is the time of pleasures and love, Horace's "Carpe diem," with these verses from Lamartine as an epigraph: "So let us love, let us love! the fleeting hour, let us hurry, let us enjoy!" The first movement (the longest of the three), The Blue Hour, is built on two themes: the first, disjointed and delicate, is presented by the soloist, the second, very lyrical, is given by the violins. The development of the themes alternates between scherzando and lyrical to culminate in a soloist cadenza accompanied by a trembling orchestra. Nature fills with songs, murmurs, rustlings. Then, in the recapitulation, after the strong and exultant return of the first theme, everything calms down in an orchestral shimmering. The second movement, The Exquisite Hour, is in ternary form and has a dreamy character. The tender confidence of the soloist leads to the central part on a D pedal: time seems suspended and the soloist weightless. The third part returns to the tender motif from the beginning, but slowed down in a slow ecstasy. The third movement, The Fleeting Hour, asserts an almost uninterrupted pulse on a funky motif. Only a few more lyrical measures, accompanied by the harp, form a breath before the return of the rhythmic trance which ends in the frenzy of the soloist and the orchestra.
