Under the direction of Pascal Germain-Berardi, the emerging choir Temps Fort performs Journal, a major work by Claude Vivier, with soloists Marie-Annick Béliveau, Ariadne Lih, Arthur Tanguay-Labrosse, Clayton Kennedy, and David Therrien-Brongo on percussions.
This concert is an invitation to discover one of Claude Vivier's most intimate works, for which he also wrote the libretto, and which includes passages from Lewis Carroll and Catholic liturgy. Divided into four parts: Childhood, Love, Death and After Death, the work is marked by a dreamlike tone and explores the mystery of the passage to the afterlife, one of the composer's recurring themes.
