condition (record/cover): NM / EX - Alain Bancquart inherited serialism already mature, already historicized, and had to decide what to do with it. Thrène 1 et 2 / L'Amant Déserté on Sappho shows his answer: absorb the technique, forget its dogmas, use it for expressive ends that the founding fathers might have found too romantic.
The "thrènes" are funeral laments, an ancient form that Bancquart revives with contemporary means. "L'Amant Déserté" shifts register toward eros, territory that serial music rarely frequented, too occupied with formal problems to permit the luxury of feeling. Bancquart had no such inhibitions. His music mourns and desires without asking permission, proving that twelve-tone technique could carry emotional weight its inventors never intended.
