Anubis-Nout (1983/90) by Gérard Grisey for bass saxophone

Résumé

Anubis-Nout was composed by Gérard Grisey in 1983 in memoriam Claude Vivier, murdered in Paris that year. Commissioned by the Dutch clarinettist Harry Spaarnay, this diptych was originally written for contrabass clarinet. In 1990, Grisey arranged it for bass or baritone saxophone in close collaboration with French saxophonist Claude Delangle. The composer takes his inspiration from Egyptian divinities who symbolize - in Anubis – the violent death of his friend and – in Nout – the ascent of his soul into the firmament. During this workshop we will decipher spectral models and techniques used by Grisey to structure the piece and question their impact on the performance process. More specifically we will focus, in Anubis, on the insertion of three “microphonic” elements and five “macrophonic” elements intended to create a polyphony “whose phasing causes the different paroxysms of the piece”. In this context, we will analyse a number of extended techniques (harsh sounds, slaps, breathing, bisbigliando, flatterzunge...) and explain how they are guided by Grisey’s spectral thought.
