LE CIMETIERE MARIN II by Djuro Zivkovic

for viola and ensemble, Study score (A4)

This is a musical score of viola concerto.- Symbolism is an aesthetic of atmospheres. Atmospheric can also describe Djuro Zivkovic's "Le cimetière marin II" for viola and ensemble, inspired by Paul Valéry's poem. In this composition Zivkovic has transformed the original voice part in to a small viola concerto. The sea is close to the first person voice of the poem; the dead rest under the gravestones. Zivkovic causes time to cease. This takes place through the seldom-resting glissandi, as slow as long waves on the surface of the sea. An improvisational attitude towards his composing gives rise to an ever-changing colour spectrum.
