Summary:

»Vanités« by Brice Pauset – This work, composed from 2000-2002, is described in detail. The work structure, compositional aim, text selection and connection to the Baroque are explained as well as the motif of vanitas in Baroque painting, especially Albrecht Dürer’s famous etching Melencolia I. Pauset conceived a 25-part cycle for a truly exquisite combination of instruments that includes theorbo and three harpsichords. The work appears to have been created for eternity.
