Élégie

In the wake of the loss of two loved ones, including my father, the need arose to bring this Élégie to life. For me, it represents a tribute to my fathers, to the fundamental and inspiring figures who enlighten our lives.
Initiated as a song of lament, I wanted the piece to unfold as a poignant illustration of suffering and melancholy. However, as it evolved, I wanted there to be a metamorphosis from the initial feeling to a powerful lyrical force, aspiring to a brighter dimension, a vibrant ode to life.
My ambition was to create a work that brought out all the expressive power of the strings, with the solo violin in the foreground, dominating a composition in which I sought an organic dimension, the heartbeat being a prominent source of inspiration.
The creation of this work has given me the opportunity for true introspection, a plunge into the heart of the soul, which I hope will find an emotional resonance in those who discover it.
