2023 is Ligeti's anniversary year. His Lux Aeterna of 1966 is an emblematic work, timeless, used as for just this reason by Kubrick in his film 2001: A Space Odyssey. A musical setting of a part of the Catholic requiem, its micro-polyphonic treatment sounds like a memory of the prayers chanted in the synagogue. What is Ligeti's legacy today?

Lithuanian composer Justė Janulytė imagines Iridescence, a variant of Lux Aeterna's luminous surface tending toward the electronic world. For his part, the Hungarian Marton Illés looks to the multiplicity of styles and successive languages of Ligeti, who in his Drei Phantasien nach Friedrich Hölderlin (1982), had abandoned the micro-polyphony of the early days.

The perfection of the SWR choir finally allows the Parisian public to rediscover an exceptional composer dominating his generation, Alberto Posadas. His Ubi sunt takes as its musical program a memorial question carried by texts of Novalis, Stefan George, Master Eckhart: "Where are those who were before us? »

English

2023 est l’année anniversaire de Ligeti. Son Lux Aeterna de 1966 fait figure d’œuvre emblématique, hors temps, utilisée à ce titre par Kubrick dans son film 2001 : l'Odyssée de l’espace. Mise en musique d’une partie du requiem catholique, son traitement micropolyphonique sonne comme un souvenir des prières psalmodiées à la synagogue. Quel héritage de Ligeti aujourd’hui ?

La compositrice lituanienne Justė Janulytė imagine Iridescence, une variante de la surface lumineuse de Lux Aeterna tendant vers le monde électronique. De son côté, le Hongrois Marton Illés regarde vers la multiplicité des styles et des langues successives de Ligeti qui dans ses Drei Phantasien nach Friedrich Hölderlin (1982), avait abandonné la micropolyphonie des débuts.

La perfection du chœur de la SWR permet enfin au public parisien de retrouver un compositeur d’exception dominant sa génération, Alberto Posadas. Son Ubi sunt se donne comme programme musical une question mémorielle portée par des textes de Novalis, Stefan George, Maître Eckhart : « où sont ceux qui étaient avant nous ? »
