"Chip Grant IV Philip Saunders Cole Thomason-Redus Artistic Director: Robert Geeary Executive Director: Barbara Heroux Composer in Residence: Mark Winges Artistic Advisor: Sidney Chen Delusional Paths is a setting of five Stephen Crane poems concerned with paths and destinations. Here paths taken lead to unexpected places. Carefully considered goals prove to be illusive, unattainable, or not what they seemed.

Référence : Louise Filliaux-Tiger. (1914). Ballade. [Poème de Paul fort]. BnF - réf. K. 22971 (2). Paris : Imp. H. Minot. La "Ballade" a d’abord été publiée en 1914 dans une version chant et piano, avant que 2 autres voix « d’accompagnement » soient ajoutées la même année. Le chœur y est traité de manière instrumentale à la manière de Ravel ou Debussy, et y est créateur d’ambiance. La partition est très précise quant aux intentions à donner.  less
