(*) Une Soirée avec Matricia Perséverse (1978-1984) – 120’

An evening with Matricia Perseverse

For 15 instruments and actress.

Premiered : Bremen Musiktage ’84. Schauburg, 22 Oct. 1984.

Ensemble Das Neue Werk, Hamburg, Conductor: D. Cichewiecz (flute , oboe, clarinet, low clarinet, bassoon, trumpet, trombone, violin, viola, violoncello, double bass, piano, 2 percussions, celesta-glockenspiel. And one actress)

This evening is composed of three pieces of music, or three scores, in which the same atmosphere and common themes circulate:

– Entrée (Entry), for fifteen instruments (see higher)

– Scène du va-et-vient (Scene of to and from), for a pianist and an actress.

this piece ends in Bonjour, comment ça va ? Hello, how are you? for piano, violoncello and low clarinet,

– Sexolidad, for fifteen instruments, (see higher).

Matricia Perséverse (the actress), i.e. the composer, presents the concert and makes a particularly perverse analysis of the evening.

This piece can be regarded as matter for musical theatre.
