Verlorene Worter

This short cycle of five Lieder was written on Rose Ausländer's poems. He says the distress and the grace of the poetic creation. I realized one year later an instrumental version of these Lieder, exploiting the possibilities of the viola and looking for an instrumental music written from a vocal one, arisen from the text : the question of the autonomy of the musical speech with regard to its source of inspiration so raises itself.
This work is friendly dedicated to Laurent Camatte and Thomas Costille, which assured the creation on August 9th, 2015 within the festival 1000sources and Dordogne.
