Instrumentation: for a 5 and an 8 stringed viola and ensemble (1.1.1.1/1.0.2.0/2perc/pf.cel/1.1.1.0)

"Souffle combattant" pays homage to the composition "Cordes plus" by Maurice Benhamou (*1936). Benhamou wrote "Cordes plus" in close cooperation with the violist Kurt Meyerhans who had already had a 5 and an 8 stringed viola specially made for other compositions and improvisations. "Cordes plus" was world premiered in 1974 in Bourges (Festival International de Musique Experimentale). Further performances followed in the years 1976 in Paris (Centre des Universitaires Juifs) and 1983 in Switzerland. Some members of the audience at these concerts fled the concert hall rather disgruntled. The electronic tape, the wild viola and polystyrene used in parts of the composition were too much for the ears ("Cordes plus" was created under the impression of various wars between 1967 and 1973 as well as other influences)
Commissioned by radio "Espace2" I have written this composition for Marie Schwab (who now uses the 5 and 8 stringed violas once belonging to Kurt Meyerhans) and the "Nouvel Ensemble Contemporain" using a radio recording of "Cordes plus" as a basis. In my composition:
1. is a live recording of "Cordes plus" (Radio France 1977) electronically processed, (partly) altered and played back
2. the solo viola part is based on the solo viola voice by Kurt Meyerhans
3. the ensemble is developed in a dialogue which takes as its subject the "Gleichzeitigkeit von Verschiedenheit und Gemeinsamkeit" ("Simultaneity of Differences and Similarities") by
Christine Thürmer-Rohr.
"Souffle combattant" was created purely associatively; it is a Re-Action and fragmentary (musical, political and personal) memory. The title affords a possible link: "Souffle combattant" after the etching bearing the same name by Gisèle Celan-Lestrange.
