Georges Aperghis – Récitation 14
Biography
Georges Aperghis (23 December 1945 in Athens, Greece) is a composer working primarily in the field of experimental music theater but has also composed a large amount of non-programmatic chamber music. He is married to actress Edith Scob.
His works are often very flamboyant and exhibitionist, sharing a kinship with the work of Vinko Globokar, though Aperghis’ music is far less violent and much more playful. He studied with Iannis Xenakis and founded the music and theater company ATEM (Atelier Théâtre et Musique). He was a “composer in residence” in Strasbourg, France.
Selected works
Il gigante golia (1975/1990) for voice and orchestra
Histoire de loups (1976) opera
Récitations (1977-1978) for solo voice
Le Corps à Corps (1978) for a percussionist and his Zarb
Cinq Couplets (1988) for voice and bass clarinet
Triangle carré (1989) for string quartet and three percussionists
Simulacre (1991-1995) series of four pieces for voice and small chamber groupings
Sextuor (1992) opera for five female voices and ‘cello
Die Hamletmaschine-oratorio (2000) for choir and orchestra with soloists
Avis de tempête (2005) opera with chamber ensemble and electronics
