Gould savait-il que l’un de ses enregistrements serait inclus dans le disque d’or des sondes spatiales Voyager ? Savons-nous ce qu’il en pensait ? A-t-il particip\u00e9 \u00e0 la s\u00e9lection de la piste ? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Je serais tr\u00e8s surpris d’apprendre que Gould ne savait rien des deux sondes spatiales Voyager lanc\u00e9es par la NASA en 1977, ni du disque d’or qui y \u00e9tait appos\u00e9 et qui comprenait, parmi ses vingt-sept \u00e9chantillons de musique terrestre, son propre enregistrement du Pr\u00e9lude et fugue n\u00b0 1 en do majeur du Livre 2 du Clavier bien temp\u00e9r\u00e9 de Bach.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Pourtant, ses documents conserv\u00e9s \u00e0 la Biblioth\u00e8que et aux Archives du Canada, \u00e0 Ottawa, sont muets \u00e0 ce sujet : aucune preuve de contact avec la NASA ou avec le directeur ex\u00e9cutif du projet Golden Record, Carl Sagan ; aucune preuve qu’il ait particip\u00e9 \u00e0 la s\u00e9lection de son morceau ; aucune preuve que son label, CBS Records, l’ait contact\u00e9 \u00e0 ce sujet ; aucune preuve qu’il ait poss\u00e9d\u00e9 ou lu le livre de Sagan sur le projet, Murmures de la Terre (1978).<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

La litt\u00e9rature de Gould est muette sur le sujet, tout comme le site web Voyager de la NASA (voyager.jpl.nasa.gov) et The Vinyl Frontier : The Story of the Voyager Golden Record (2019), par Jonathan Scott. \u00c0 moins que vous ne trouviez des informations dans The Voyager Record : A Transmission (2016), d’Anthony Michael Morena, que je n’ai pas vu, nous ne saurons peut-\u00eatre jamais ce que Gould savait sur Voyager. <\/p>\n\n

Pourquoi son enregistrement particulier du pr\u00e9lude et de la fugue a-t-il \u00e9t\u00e9 choisi pour le disque d’or ? Le fait que l’un des conseillers musicaux du projet, l’artiste et \u00e9crivain Jon Lomberg, ait travaill\u00e9 pour la CBC et connaisse bien l’\u0153uvre de Gould, a certainement aid\u00e9. En effet, les suggestions initiales de Lomberg pour le disque comprenaient deux enregistrements de Gould : une autre fugue de Bach (Livre 1, do mineur) et la premi\u00e8re des Six petites pi\u00e8ces pour piano, opus 19, de Schoenberg. <\/p>\n\n

Et c’est CBS Records qui a fini par rassembler toutes les pistes audio pour le disque d’or et (la loi sur le droit d’auteur s’\u00e9tendant apparemment au-del\u00e0 du syst\u00e8me solaire) par obtenir les autorisations l\u00e9gales n\u00e9cessaires – mais seulement apr\u00e8s que la piste de Gould eut \u00e9t\u00e9 s\u00e9lectionn\u00e9e.<\/p>\n\n

Mais aucune explication particuli\u00e8re n’est peut-\u00eatre n\u00e9cessaire, car en 1977, Gould \u00e9tait depuis longtemps l’un des interpr\u00e8tes de Bach les plus c\u00e9l\u00e8bres au monde.<\/p>\n\n
