5 VISIONS AMMOUREUSES

 

"Examination piece".
A priori, it is not my cup of tea...
But Dinant is still THE competition. Moreover, I have to admit that 4 years ago, I had taken great pleasure in working on Vincent David's formidable "Nuée ardente". So, driven by ego, I accepted to write the compulsory piece for the Adolphe Sax 2023 competition.

The specifications were simple: between 6 and 7 minutes and technically very difficult...

There was too much excitement to imagine the 300 candidates entering my music. Almost indecent. Too many people. Too many inspiring souls to handle.
In order to thwart the crowd, I opted for miniatures, leaving myself the opportunity to one day take this embryonic musical material and develop it as it should be.

I thus deliver here a condensed version, 5 visions of/in love, 5 states of love which say a lot, undoubtedly not enough, perhaps a little too much, it does not matter! Everyone will find in these moments of intimacy the interpretation that will allow him/her to tell his/her own story.
Love in all its complexity:

Tormented. Ecstatic. Euphoric. Carnal. Longanimous.

Remains the simplistic and obvious beauty of the words that Nat King Cole sang so well: "The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return".
