SIRODEAU / 3 Complete catalogues of the works (2024)
{by opus numbers, by "Time Spiral" sequence (see details below), by instrumental categories}

 Note: Until recently, all Sirodeau's compositions have been organized according to
an idealized system under title 'Spirale du temps' (Time Spiral), with the
intention of ultimately assembling a sequence of music for each hour of an
entire day. (This project will be completed within the next several years.)
Thus the original opus numbers are grouped according to the works position
in the spiral, rather than reflecting the chronology of composition. The
listing of extant works, including those established in title and form but
not yet completed, is shown in this system of organization at the foot of
this page, where H1, H2 etc. are the numbers of the hours in which the
pieces fit (often with several pieces sharing the same hour). However,
the number of individual works now exceeds fifty, and this numbering system
started to appear somewhat cumbersome and confusing for some people. Thus I
laterly decided to revert to the traditional, chronological method of
assigning opus numbers, which is used in the first catalogue below. This is why,
for instance, the series of Sumphônias or Improvisations appear to be out of sequence.
In addition to this 'Time spiral' main group (which is linked with opus 1 till 74), one can find: 'Duino', a new cycle of ten pieces was completed more recently, in relation with Rilke's Elegies, as well as the Ricercari op.76, and a nonet Sumphônia in hommage to Mahler - launched as op.77.

Most of the scores are available by request to professional performers, although some of the earlier works (or recent) are not yet typeset. Some examples in PDF format can be seen on the works presentation pages (in progress). Please send inquiries to christophesirodeau@gmail.com
