Born in Vienna in 1865 (the same year as Sibelius and Nielsen), Émile Jaques-Dalcroze was originally from Geneva, where he laid the foundations of studies on rhythm, before spreading his teachings of music based on the physical perception of the musical phenomenon to Germany and beyond. His influence on contemporary dance was felt the world over, from the creation of Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring to the German choreographers influenced by his methods and philosophy. A rhythmic class was briefly created by Jacques Rouché at the Paris Opera in 1917, leading to uproar in more conservative circles of the dance world, fearful that this threatened the survival of traditional French ballet. The experiment was shut down in 1924, thus stopping France from participating in the contemporary dance explosion.
Jaques-Delcroze was a composer with a lot to say: having studied with Anton Bruckner in Vienna and with Leo Delibes and Gabriel Fauré in Paris, he had the knowledge to incorporate elements from folkloric music as well as orchestral repertoire into his vast catalogue.
La Veillée finds its inspiration from a George Sand novel, Les Maîtres sonneurs (The Bagpipers), published in 1853, a story set in the Berrichonne countryside assimilated into French-speaking Switzerland. Jaques-Delcroze produced his most ambitious work from it, a sort of secular oratorio separated into nineteen parts, each linked together by a recurring motif. Exhibiting fresh notions of inspiration and large amounts of variety, La Veillée was created in its definitive form in 1909 and requires six vocal soloists, a mixed choir and a large symphonic orchestra. This recording, made in Geneva studio in September 2018, offers up an abridged version (probably to fit into two albums) omitting 5 numbers from the vast score. However this omission does not prevent the discovery of an exciting and singular piece of Genevan musical history, before the emergence of a new generation of composers such as Frank Martin and Arthur Honegger and the arrival of Ernest Ansermet who would go on to open up the doors musical modernity. © François Hudry/Qobuz
