track listing:
A three-part composition, respectively:
17'47", 24'23", 19'27"
Back to music after three years of
silence...
On the suggestion of Robert Ashley,
Douglas Dunn commissioned this piece
from Eliane Radigue for
choreography. Only the first part of
Triptych was staged at the premiere at
the Dancehall/Theatre
of Nancy on February 27 1978.
Recorded in the composer's studio in
Paris.
After the premiere of Adnos I in San
Francisco in 1974, a group of French
students introduced Eliane Radigue
to Tibetan Buddhism. When she returned
to Paris, she began to explore this
spirituality in depth, which slowed
her musical production up until 1978.
Triptych marks her return to
composition, and draws its inspiration
from
"the spirit of the fundamental
elements", water, air, fire,
earth....Eliane Radigue likes to add
that this has
often been useful to her in her moments
of research and transitions.
This three-part composition, with its
great humility and contemplative
simplicity, heralded a new period of
work and was the first in a series of
masterpieces inspired by Tibetan
Buddhism: Adnos II (1980), Adnos III
(1981), Songs of Milarepa (1983) - with
the voices of Lama Kunga Rinpoche and
Robert Ashley -, "Jetsun Mila"
(1986), as well as the Trilogy of Death:
Kyema (1988), Kailasha (1991) and Koume
(1993).
