Slavomír Hořínka : Pour mon Berger
concert aria for soprano, flugelhorn, strings and piano
Premiere: Sál Martinů Lichtenštejnského paláce, 18/06/2007
Bronislava Tomanová – soprano
I created Pour mon Berger (For my Shepherd) in order to express musically, through verses by St. Therese of Lisieux, what I am not able to express with words. The musical structure is based on a twelve tone row. This one though is constructed so that it can be organically set into otherwise relatively diatonic language. The resulting musical shape shouldn’t strike with its complexity but rather with melodic ease.
please note: you are listening to the live recordings from the premieres
