‘The first sketch of The Stations of the Cross was conceived and realised in the form of an improvisation, at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Brussels, on 13th February 1931. During the concert the fourteen poems of Le Chemin de la Croix by the great French poet Paul Claudel were read, and after each I improvised a musical commentary. Many in the audience having expressed their regret that nothing should remain of this spontaneous music, I decided to write the work down, trying to evoke the same atmosphere. Its composition took me an entire year, and I gave the first performance on the organ of the Trocadéro in Paris on 18th March 1932. Le Chemin de la Croix is a vast symphonic poem in which several leading themes recur, but each station has its own musical conception... |
