NEW PAGES IN THE HERITAGE OF OLIVIER MESSIAEN: FAUVETTES DE l’HERAULT – CONCERT DES GARRIGUES RECONSTRUCTED BY ROGER MURARO

Summary/Abstract: The Concerto for piano solo Fauvettes de l'Hérault – concert des garrigues / Hérault Warblers – concert in the garrigues by Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992), fragments and sketches of which were found in the composer's archives, was reconstructed by the French pianist Roger Muraro. The premiere of the work, performed by him, took place on June 23, 2017 at Toppan Hall in Tokyo (Japan). The history of the conception and creation of sketches for this instrumental concerto began in 1958, when O. Messiaen made the first sketches and notated recordings of birds singing in the garrigues of Hérault. The pantheistic painting Fauvettes de l’Hérault, recreated from the composer's sketches, harmoniously complements the thesaurus of the composer's musical images. The collection of archival materials of the piano concerto, from the moment of its discovery in 1995, lasted until 2015. The work on the direct reconstruction of the score continued over the next two years. Fauvettes de l’Hérault - a concert in the garrigues, according to the form and principles of organizing the musical fabric, is built on the polylogue of birds-soloists, whose singing sounds against the background of themes that reflect the landscape of this scene, and represents the author's model of the genre of a large form, in which the key is the idea of an instrumental theater of theme – characters
