Les espaces du sommeil
for Baritone and Orchestra
The music form of ''Les Espaces du Sommeil'' is determined to a high degree by the form of Robert Desnos' poem which imposed its division on phrases and a one-piece structure. ''I think that I owe the unusually clear form of music to the splendid composition of the text.'' [Witold Lutosławski, RM no. 8, 1980]. The music fully respects the surrealistic and symbolist integrity of Desnos' poem. Lutosławski was always behaving this way, but never before had he given precedence to a poet to such a degree. Such an impression is given by considerable parts of the text sung on one or a few neighbouring sounds and therefore resembling an ordinary recitation. [Tadeusz Kaczyński]
