05.03.2017 20:00 2017 20:00 05.03.Grand Auditorium Dimanche / Sonntag / Sunday Autour du monde The Gloaming Iarla Ó Lionaird vocals Martin Hayes fiddle Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh Hardanger d’amore Thomas Bartlett (Doveman) piano Dennis Cahill guitar ~ 90’ sans pause HERMÈS GRANDEUR NATURE The Gloaming Jim Carroll (2017) The Gloaming dwells at a musical crossroads, enhancing tradi- tional Irish music’s rich, melancholic tones with modern hues of jazz, contemporary classical, and experimental music. Steeped in traditional Irish music since birth, fiddlers Martin Hayes and Caoimhin Ó Raghallaigh and sean-nós singer Iarla Ó Lionáird are joined by New York pianist Thomas Bartlett (Doveman), and Chicago-born guitarist Dennis Cahill. The Gloaming have found a way to fuse and transform Irish tra- ditions, in the process re-defining what Irish music can be. The new album was recorded in December 2015 at Real World Studios, produced by Thomas Bartlett (Sufjan Stevens, Glen Hansard) and engineered and mixed by Patrick Dillett (David Byrne & St.Vincent, The National). While Ireland is a small nation, the diversity in styles between traditional music players from different counties and parishes a few dozen miles apart is a thing of no small wonder. The back- grounds of The Gloaming’s three Irish members show the strength and colour of this ecosystem. Hayes hails from County Clare, where a slow, contemplative, and melancholic sweep of fiddle music holds sway amongst its musicians. A move to America burnished his sound with new idioms, ranging from Arvo Pärt to Sigur Ros. Still very much an East Clare fiddler, Hayes has brought this age-old sound into a modern setting without losing its essence. Hayes’s fellow fiddler is Dublin-born Ó Raghallaigh, whose head was turned by minimal, experimental sounds. His 2 3 05_115X175_OrchestrePhilamonieLux_Luxembourg.indd 1 10/08/2016 18:25 ability to mine the space and texture between the notes with his customized fiddle, part Norwegian Hardanger and part viola d’amore, has produced some groundbreaking work. Ó Lionáird hails from West Cork, where Sean-nós singing – solo singing unaccompanied by any instrument – is the lingua franca. Passed down the generations, the songs cover a multitude of material: historical events, love poems or bittersweet accounts of loss and emigration, and, of course, songs about drinking and devilment. An exponent of this dark, passionate, and ancient art, Ó Lionáird has taken a unique, indelibly Irish voice and lyrics drawn from Irish literature into new terrain. He has recorded a number of albums for Real World Records and became a choice collaborator for composers like Nico Muhly, Gavin Bryars, and Donnacha Dennehy. The cast of The Gloaming has proven transformative with the addition of guitarist Cahill, an American from Dingle, County Kerry stock, and Bartlett, who has worked with Antony and the Johnsons, Sufjan Stevens, Glen Hansard, The National, Sam The Gloaming Amidon, and many more. With Cahill and Bartlett’s musical photo: Hugh McCabe dexterity and shaping, The Gloaming’s reels and jigs attain new and exhilarating heights.

The Gloaming : la musique irlandaise dans toute sa dignité Étienne Bours Délicieuse souplesse des violons, étreintes magnifiques entre leurs cordes et celles de la guitare et du piano, puis une voix surgie en douceur des entrailles d’un monde gaélique et cette fluidité qui passe de la délicatesse à la fougue… Tout, en cette musique, nous rappelle une Irlande qu’on aime, celle où les cieux et les landes s’épousent puis se rejettent dans une parade amoureuse irrésistible. The Gloaming est une rencontre audacieuse entre quatre musiciens et un chanteur qui prennent leur héritage à bras-le-corps, à bras-le-cœur, pour lui rendre un vibrant hommage. Loin d’une tradition jouée ou chantée stricto sensu, ils nous invitent dans une interprétation à la fois libre et respectable mais toujours respectueuse de cette tradition.

Cette musique, dans ses dimensions les plus modernes, est devenue incontournable sur les scènes du monde dans les années 1970. L’héritage traditionnel a commencé à bouillir puis à déborder dans un contexte de revival (ce qu’on a appelé le folk) répercuté par le marché, mais aussi dans un environnement lié aux troubles dans le Nord, à la lutte pour les droits civiques, à la soif de liberté par rapport à l’Église et à ces idées nouvelles que les vents venus d’Europe et d’Amérique faisaient souffler sur l’Irlande. Le pays tout entier s’est agité dans la seconde moitié du 20e siècle, secouant son joug historique, s’arc-boutant autant que possible sur ses richesses propres pour affirmer sa différence. Sa langue, ses écrivains, sa musique, ses danses, ses chansons et ballades amoureuses autant qu’historiques, ses chants de lutte, ses disciplines sportives, ses légendes, son caractère pugnace et son whisky distillé trois fois, tout devait tenir face aux tempêtes de l’Histoire. La musique tradi- tionnelle s’est vite imposée comme l’ambassadrice idéale de ces combats incessants. Elle aurait pourtant pu disparaître dans les soubresauts de l’Histoire mais elle a, au contraire, inondé toutes www.mercedes-benz.lu les autres musiques avec une rage et une ferveur que l’on peut attribuer à sa force intérieure, à son héritage populaire partagé Consommation de carburant cycle urbain/extra-urbain/mixte : 7,6 – 6,3/5,1 – 4,4/5,9 – 5,1 l/100 km par toute la population et à son mélange de mythe et d’histoire.
