Product Description

Évariste Galois is a French short film directed in 1964 by Alexandre Astruc and released in 1967. It recounts the final hours of the brilliant mathematician (18111832), who died in a duel at the age of 20. The music that Tailleferre had composed for the film was replaced by another score, much more neo-baroque in style, by Antoine Duhamel. However, this atonal, tense, and deliberately minimalist music likely expresses Tailleferres attitude toward the story of a young man who dies in a duel over a love affair gone wrong, further complicated by his commitment to the Republican cause.One notes the feverish atonal passages for strings alone, the use of the vibraphone (also present in the score for Les Grandes Personnes by Jean Valère, from 1961), as well as a passage for winds evoking fairground music. The military drum rolls (no. 4 and no. 6), intended to illustrate the duel scene, can be omitted. This item is the full score. The parts are on rental from the publisher.
