Pelléas & Mélisande
In this large-scale music album, Pelléas & Mélisande on Adventurous Music (Leipzig, Germany), Lauré Lussier was inspired by Maurice Maeterlinck's (1862-1949) symbolic and tragic play "Pelléas et Mélisande".
Mélisande, a young woman, is found lost in the forest by Prince Golaud. He will take her to the castle of his grandfather, King Arkel where Golaud will take care of her and marry her. She and Pelléas, Golaud’s half-brother, fall in love with one another, which arouses a mad jealousy in the husband.
Maurice Maeterlinck's play is a timeless and symbolist drama. The major dramaturgical characteristic of the play is darkness and penumbra; the weak luminosity covers the vulnerability of two secret lovers who should not be seen... It is better to rise to the degree of symbolist vision to see through and beyond.
The music was composed first, with the specific dialogs in mind. The musical motifs associated to the play’s characters’ strengths, weaknesses and inner thoughts have been composed in relation to the different themes and situations that evolve throughout the work.
Trans(Dis)figured Waltzes
Lauré's third album from the German label Adventurous Music (Leipzig, Germany).
Three waltzes.
At first glance, they look simple.
As the music unfolds, they slowly reveal their true selves in their entire complexity.
Transfigured or Disfigured?
Strange Recital
Iconic Québécois poet Émile Nelligan (1879-1941) wrote the bulk of his work between 1893 and 1896.
During this period, he wrote a cycle of poems relating to music. This cycle has been referred to as « Strange Recitals ».
For this album from the German label Adventurous Music (Leipzig, Germany), Lauré Lussier has chosen poems from this cycle which he has put to music, to create his own very intimist
« Strange Recital ».
Strange Symphony
Lauré's large-sacle music album from Adventurous Music (Leipzig, Germany),
Strange Symphony, is
"An illicit Symphony which should have never been created.... But it happened". L.
Darkness
Lauré's Opus "Darkness"
Civilization, this Lord Byron's poem suggests, is much more fragile than anyone would like to believe; the vast emptiness of the universe will eventually defeat all human powers. Human greed and selfishness ruin not only the environment, but lives.
"Darkness" is a large-scale album with elements of orchestral instrumentations, drone soundscapes and narrated by Kate Bosworth.
