Description
The title of this work by Gauthier Dupertuis refers to the novel Lord of the Flies by William Golding, published in 1954.
Lord of the Flies is intended to be a small symphonic poem describing different episodes of the book: the despair of the children stranded on the island, the use of the unifying conch and symbol of democracy, the adventures, and the formation of the camp and finally the savagery of the clan of Jack which undeniably leads to chaos. The finale is mysterious and half-tone, imbued with both the relief of having been rescued, and a deep sadness linked to the tragic events that have occurred on the island.
All the main themes and elements developed in the work come from the idea “d-e-f”, exposed from the first bars. The orchestration is intended to be variable in geometry and avoids the main technical difficulties related to the instruments. However, the composer wanted to find as many colors as possible and avoided confining himself to too “simple” harmonies.
Lord of the Flies: a piece accessible to most concert bands.
