C'EST POUR FETER LE 9EME CENTENAIRE DE LA RECONNAISSANCE DE LA SAINTETE DE ROLENDE QUE L'ALBL DU "QUATRIEME CENTENAIRE DE LA CHASSE DE SAINTE ROLENDE" A COMMANDE CETTE OEVRE A ALAIN CREPIN.
A GERPINNES (BELGIQUE), CHAQUE ANNEE, LE LUNDI DE LA PETECOTE, UNE PROCESSION MAJESTUEUSE ESCORTE LA CHASSE DE SAINTE ROLENDE HONOREE DEPUIS PLUS DE 900 ANS. EN 2003, LES HARMONIES PARTICIPAND A LA "RENTREE SOLENNELLE" DE LA PROCESSION, REGROUPANT 300 MUSICIENS SE SONT RASSEMBLEES SOUS LA DIRECTION DU COMPOSITEUR ALAIN CREPIN POUR CREER "LA LEGENDE DE ROLENDE". L'OEUVRE EST BASEE SUR LE "CANTIQUE DE SAINTE ROLENDE". L'INTRODUCTION EVOQUE LA N LONGUE MARCHE DE ROLENDE VENUE DE FRANCE QUI S'ETEINDRA A GERPINNES. LE CORTEGE, QUI FAIT ROUTE A TRAVERS LA FORET, EST SYMBOLISE PAR UN INTERVALLE DE QUARTE. IL SE DEPLACE SUR UN LONG OSTINATO, SUIVI D'UN THEME CHAMPETRE INTRODUIT PAR LES CORS. LA MUSIQUE S'APAISE ET DEVIET PLUS RELIGIEUSE. PLUS VIVANTE OU MAJESTUEUSE POUR EVOQUER DANS UN TUTTI FINAL LA CONSECRATION DE LA SAINTETE DE ROLENDE.

IT IS TO CELEBRATE THE 9TH CENTENARY OF THE RECOGNITION OF THE SAINTLINESS OF ROLENDE THAT THE ASBL OF THE "QUATRIEME CENTENAIRE DE LA CHASSE DE SAINTE ROLENDE" ORDERED THIS WORK FROM ALAIN CREPIN.
EVERY YEAR, ON WHIT MONDAY, IN GERPINNES (BELGIUM), MAJESTIC PROCESSION ESCORTS THE SHRINE OF SAINTE ROLENDE WHICH HAS BEEN HONOURED FOR OVER 900 YEARS. IN 2003, THE WIND BANDS TAKING PART IN THE "RENTREE SOLENNELLE" OF THE PROCESSION, GROUPING SOME 300 MUSICIANS, WERE GATHERED UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE COMPOSER ALAIN CREPIN TO CREATE "LA LEGENDE DE ROLENDE".
THE WORK IS BASED ON THE "CANTICLE OF SAINT ROLENDE". THE INTRODUCTION EVOKES THE LONG WALK OF ROLENDE WHO HAD COME FROM FRANCE AND WHO DIED IN GERPINNES. THE PROCESSION, WHICH GOES THROUGH THE FOREST, IS SYMBOLISED BY AN INTERVAL TO THE FOURTH. IT MOVES ALONG A LONG OSTINATO, FOLLOWED BY A COUNTRY THEME INTRODUCED BY THE HORNS. THE MUSIC BECOMES QUIETER AND EITHER BECOMES MORE RELIGIOUS, MORE LIVELY OR MAJESTIC TO EVOKE THE CONSECRATION OF THE SAINTLINESS DE ROLENDE IN A FINALE TUTTI.
