A Sound-Celebration of the Spirit: On Oralléluiants 
An exploration of the score of Gilles Tremblay’s Oralléluiants affords the opportunity to confirm that spiritual life is inherent to the musical act, which, for the Québécois composer, is both the capacity to perceive the musical potentialities of the world around him and the desire to make them transparent to a light which goes beyond them. In Oralléluiants, a tangible sound-producing object (a sheet of aluminum) is the material that gradually transforms into the pure joyful movement. This object is also the source of a reflection in this article on the relationship between performer and instrument and the particular nature of musicality which Tremblay’s art induces.
