Product details
Last Flight of Saint-Ex (2010) is
inspired by the famous French writer and pilot Antoine de
Saint-Exupéry (1900-1944), also known as Saint-Ex - author of the
international bestseller Le Petit Prince - whose plane was likely
shot down by a young German pilot in 1944 in the South of
France.
Originally composed in 2008 for oboe and string quartet for a
premiere performance by the Sydney Symphony Orchestra Fellowship
players, recomposed versions are now available in a variety of
instrumental combinations, showcasing the technical virtuosity of
all players.
A fast, pulsating, rhythmic style governs this work. A feeling of
urgency is created by syncopated rhythms, irregular metres and
erratic dynamic changes. In the slow middle section, a feeling of
sadness is conveyed by a slow haunting solo. Fast motivic figures
alongside thick rippling trill and chordal textural sound mass
effects build to a loud and dramatic climax.
