Gerard Grisey - Les Chants de l'Amour at Grace Cathedral - CNMAT - VOSV - Cyril Deaconoff

On March 29, 2025 Les Chants de l'Amour by Gerard Grisey was performed and recorded at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco as part of the collaborative project between Voices of Silicon Valley directed by Cyril Deaconoff and CNMAT at UC Berkeley, with Prof. Edmund Campion, sound engineer. This was US premiere of this work. From http://ppeam.zhdk.ch/song/les-chants-... Les Chants de l’Amour is a piece for 12-voice mixed choir and computer generated tape. Even though the first formal sketch (“l’idée de grandes polyphonies vocals enveloppées et soutenues par un fondamental puissant”) dates back to the summer of 1981, it was mainly composed between Paris and Berkeley from 1982 to 1984 and published by Editions Ricordi (© 1984, R. 2163). It was commissioned by the Ministère Français de la Culture and IRCAM and premiered on June 3, 1985 in IRCAM’s Espace de projection by the Scola Cantorum of Stuttgart conducted by Clytus Gottwald. The tape was realized at IRCAM by Jean-Baptiste Barrière and Pierre-Francois Baisnée in collaboration with Grisey using the synthesis and processing version of CHANT, a synthesis-by-rule DSP devised and created at IRCAM. The piece explores the formant content of the vocalic part of the sentence “I love you”, formally treating this material through the entire piece and deriving a basically binary form, which follows the acoustical frame of the sentence. The pitches and the fundamental frequencies for the piece, formed by an introduction and 28 sections, are derived from the frequencies of the first two formants of these vowels contained in the sentence. Every section follows an attack, sustain, decay pattern for which specific sub-phonemes were designed. Seven different writing styles (ranging from polyphony, the syllabic style and litanies to homophony) are presented gradually by means of transitions created by interpolation processes.
