Canto a due

Canto a due

for clarinet and cello (6 '- 2007)

This short and intimate work was written on the occasion ofthe marriage of Jean-Luc Votano, the performer who, in 2012, would become thededicatee of Ayl, concerto for clarinetand orchestra.

Canto a Due usesmusical references from the first vocal scene of my Passio SecundumLucam (started at the same time), moreprecisely, from the melodic and rhythmic formulas developed above the words"I desired desires." Therefore, interactions, sound wanderings andother timbral fusions go through the score, sound metaphor of the multiplefaces of love. Perfumed oriental melismas, joyful arabesques, musical derams anso on punctuate this colorful and sensitive score.
