Compositions for two harps were mainly written for large symphonic ensembles in the 19th and early 20th centuries (Debussy, Ravel, Roussel). It is therefore rare to receive a commission for two harps and ensemble, as proposed to me by the Ars Nova ensemble. The purpose of the two harps in the orchestra was to amplify this instrument. Here, I opted for a contrapuntal style using various complementary playing techniques, thus creating a dialogue between the two harps.
Furthermore, each harp is independent and interacts with the other instruments in the ensemble. The title Spring corresponds to the period during which I wrote this piece, evoking the transition from winter to spring, from darkness to light, from stillness to proliferation, through work on tessitura, dynamics and movement.
