Still, Again
Pierre Alexandre Tremblay
Programme notes
To Peyee Chen
A short chamber opera
Waiting in vain, a story of hope, self-doubt, anticipation, impatience, fantasy, exasperation, resentment, despair… usually directed at the other, it is mostly a hatred of our own latent life, to which, after the turmoil of these contradicting emotions, we will return, still, again, waiting in vain.
[viii-13]
Still, Again was realized in 2012-13 at the composer’s studio and the studios of the University of Huddersfield (UK).
