{"product_id":"patrick-marcland-l-infinito","title":"Patrick Marcland: L’infinito","description":"L'infinito is Giacomo Leopardi's famous and emblematic poem. The choice of this poem as the sole textual  material for the composition of this set of vocal pieces was dictated as much by the evident musicality of  Leopardi's verses as by the immense dreamlike openness of his imagination.  The musicality of this language, the tonic accents specific to Italian, of course, but also the rhythm provided  by the particular scansion of these fifteen verses.  The multiplicity and diversity of the themes addressed by Leopardi, in only 15 verses, offer the composer a  range of perspectives, paths to follow, and characters to explore, such that the challenge required diversity in  the vocal treatment as well (since this is only a question of song, without instrumental intervention). This also  justified the formal division into several pieces, each treating an aspect of the poem, sometimes fragmented,  in a particular mode of vocal expression. After exploring registers ranging from simple declamation to the  greatest vocal virtuosity, from the extremely low to the very high, from one single voice to several, the work  concludes with nothing but the singers' respiration (breathing) recorded  in an anechoic chamber the  body's  own rustling, now voiceless, expressing itself solely through breath. This music was originally written for the  choreographic performance entitled 'Sanguine,' choreographed by Nadine Hernu.
