Edition Schott

Entre décembre 2017 et juin 2018, Jean-Louis Tallon s'est longuement entretenu avec Gavin Bryars : près de douze heures d'entretiens pour revenir sur le parcours biographique et les pièces principales qui ont jalonné la trajectoire d'envergure, de 1969 à nos jours, du compositeur britannique. Ce premier ouvrage consacré au "mystère Bryars" reprend le fil de ces échanges dans leur intégralité, donnant ainsi à (re)découvrir et à saisir, en une vision panoramique, au fil de la parole, tout l'étendu d'un parcours aux mille facettes. Contrebassiste de jazz avant-gardiste, post-minimaliste, collaborateur de Tom Waits ou Merce Cunningham, Gavin Bryars n'a cessé de se métamorphoser pour proposer une ouvre touffue, rendue accessible à tous par la forme orale de l'ouvrage.

Né en 1973 à Lyon, Jean-Louis Tallon est l'auteur d'un récit intitulé Composition de l'atmosphère (Le Grand Souffle, 2007). Il a réalisé depuis plus de vingt ans de très nombreux entretiens d'écrivains et d'artistes. Il est également responsable culturel de l'Université d'Orléans.

Gavin Bryars - En paroles, en musique

String Quartet No. 1 ('Between the National and the Bristol'), was commissioned by the Vienna Festival for the Arditti Quartet to perform in October 1985. '... a great deal of the music is in the high register, most notably towards the end where each instrument de-tunes a pair of strings and thereafter plays only in harmonics, both natural and artificial. ' Instrumentation : string quartet

Music Of Our Time

'A Family Likeness' was written for The Society of Recorder Players in the UK and was a great success at its premiere in 2008. The music is characteristically that of Gavin Bryars and would be an ideal introduction to his unique sound world of slow moving pure harmonies and melodic ostinati that evoke expansive landscapes. This significant addition to modern recorder repertoire is a fantastic concert piece which is both accessible and musically rewarding, it can be performed by either six individual players or a larger group with multiple players per part. Instrumentation : 6 recorders (AATTBB)

This piece was written in 1997 for unaccompanied voices after the choral piece 'On Photography' for the Hilliard Ensemble and is dedicated to them. Expressa Solis may also be performed by male choir. Instrumentation : unaccompanied male voices (TTBar)

One of Gavin Bryars' early major choral works, On Photography uses texts by Pope Leo XIII combining a modern subject matter (photography) and archaic language (Latin) with music of timeless beauty. This title is accompanied by a harmonium/piano part (ED 13178). Instrumentation : mixed choir (SATB), harmonium and piano

This is a special arrangement for double bass choir of the choral piece Silva Caledonia, written for the Estonian National Male Choir, which sets a text by the Scottish poet Edwin Morgan.
