'Blasons des fleurs: L'encholie' is a composition by Swiss composer Julien-François Zbinden. It was composed in 1985 and premiered on May 17, 1986, in Geneva, Switzerland. The piece is part of a larger work called 'Blasons des fleurs,' which is a collection of six pieces for orchestra, each inspired by a different flower. 'L'encholie' is the fourth movement of the collection and is inspired by the flower 'L'encholie,' which is a type of lily. The piece is characterized by its delicate and ethereal quality, with the use of soft, flowing melodies and gentle harmonies. The instrumentation is primarily strings, with occasional woodwind and brass accents. The piece begins with a slow, mournful melody played by the violins, which is then echoed by the cellos and violas. The melody gradually builds in intensity, with the addition of more instruments and a faster tempo. The middle section of the piece features a solo violin, which plays a haunting melody over a soft, pulsing accompaniment. The final section of the piece returns to the original melody, but with a more triumphant and uplifting quality. The strings play with greater energy and intensity, building to a climactic finish. Overall, 'Blasons des fleurs: L'encholie' is a beautiful and evocative piece of music, which captures the delicate beauty of the lily flower. Zbinden's use of melody, harmony, and instrumentation creates a sense of ethereal beauty and emotional depth, making it a memorable addition to the 'Blasons des fleurs' collection.
