Commission to Ivan Fedele

A compilation of Japanese poems (haikus) is the basis for Ivan Fedele’s composition of musical aphorisms for ensemble (female voice, bass clarinet, cello and percussion). A first part (Spring Haïku, 2015 and Winter Haïku, 2021) was created by Ensemble Accroche Note, an ensemble around Françoise Kubler (soprano) and Armand Angster (clarinetist). The commission of Ivan Fedele for Accroche Note is a continuation of this larger project, which will also include haikus for the other seasons.

Ivan Fedele’s work is characterized by a constant interplay between principles of organization and freedom, perceptible forms and richness of writing. He reflects on archetypes and has a close relationship with the history of music, which he combines with new writing techniques and technological innovations.

The commission to Ivan Fedele for Accroche Note is made possible by the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation.
