About this exposition

As a harpist I wanted to find the relation between Gabriel Fauré’s piece for solo harp “Une châtelaine en sa tour” and Verlaine’s poem “Une sainte en son auréole”, from whose verse the piece takes its title, to understand more the composer’s intentions and improve my interpretation. It is quite an enigmatic topic, because Fauré never explained how (or if) he was inspired by the poem for its piece. After trying to collect as much information as I could to find the answer, I realized that there isn’t an answer: I couldn’t pretend to explain something so intimate and deep such as the composer’s intentions in a piece if the composer himself didn’t give any explanation. But I also play a role in the interpretation of the piece as a performer, and instead of searching for outer facts and information, I realized that I can find answers in the sphere of my subjectivity, exploring my personal way of including poetry in my interpretation. Therefore I created a practice plan which involved the poem in mental training techniques, and I recorded myself before and after that, noticing what changed. Thanks to this research I developed a personal way of involving poetry in practice and performing, I discovered new mental training techniques from which I benefit as a musician, and I have more awareness of the complexity of connecting two worlds that share common qualities but that exist on their own and have their beauty in their independent, pure essence.
