SKU: A0.576375
Composed by David Warin Solomons. 20th Century,Contemporary. 67 pages. David Warin Solomons #18737. Published by David Warin Solomons (A0.576375).Les Eléphants (The Elephants) by Leconte de Lisle, set to music by David W Solomons.
For spoken voice, clarinet, flute and string quartet.
The clarinet accompanies the spoken voice (but, optionally, a choir or single voice can sing the words to the notes of the clarinet).
The tonality shimmers like the desert sun as it vacillates between octatonic and major/minor; it stays in major, sometimes with added sixths and fourths, as the elephants recall the good times, when they could enjoy shade and pools of water, but resumes the octatonic shimmering as they continue to trudge, albeit hopefully and with happy memories, through the hot desert sun.
The sound file is an electronic preview with poem spoken by the composer.
The pdf file contains scores (with and without transposition of the clarinet/choir part) and parts.
A video of my performance can be found on youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lfu2cKAtEfI
