Essential information about the score "émergences-résurgences"
With "émergences-résurgences," Michael Jarrell situates the viola concerto within a decidedly contemporary aesthetic, nourished by the pictorial universe of Henri Michaux. More than a mere visual allusion, the composer transposes curves, chiaroscuro, and bold strokes into the temporal flow of the music, where the soloist's energy asserts itself from the incipit. Attentive to the continuity of listening, Jarrell shapes long melodic arches punctuated by subtle inflections, like a writer chiseling their language. Dedicated to the great violist Tabea Zimmermann, the work explores memory and anticipation, "separating the depth of the past from the abyss of the future" through a discourse that is both poetic and tense.
This Lemoine edition offers the solo viola part of the concerto "émergences-résurgences" (20 pages). The material is worked through pivot notes and points of attraction, generating figures that expand, refract, multiply, or contract. The sequences are organized around echoes, resonances, and bifurcations, with abrupt oppositions that intensify the dramaturgy. Some ideas are deliberately disjointed or fragmented, creating a mirror game where motifs reappear from different angles. The precise notation highlights dynamics and phrasing articulation, demanding from the soloist great mastery of contrasts and sound projection. Designed for the stage, this solo part is ideal for violists seeking a powerful, expressive contemporary language deeply rooted in instrumental gesture.
