For classical guitar
Beyond the tragedy that led this guitarist and singer from dazzling fame to an incredible tragedy, the Requiem evokes the intense emotions linked to the memory, the loss, and the absurdity of existence. What captivates us in this story is the realisation that talent and success do not have any power over destiny; they cannot insure lifelong happiness, and thus create a void in our existence.
Carmen perennis (Eternal Ballad) is an ancient funeral march that recounts the endless and Sisyphean quest to enter the realm of the ideal, the ethereal, the transcendental…
Fuga temporum (Fugitive Vision), without doubt the most narrative movement, flows desperately through meandering, tormented thoughts (the metaphorical Mississippi River).
Prima lux (Sunrise) is not an epilogue that is full of hope, but rather an end of the journey that immerses the listener in a contemplative, introspective conclusion.
Plus que la fulgurance d’une vie qui conduit ce chanteur guitariste d’une gloire rapide à une tragédie non moins soudaine, ce requiem saisit ce drame pour traduire toute l’intensité de l’émotion liée au souvenir, à l’absence, à l’absurde. Ce qui est saisissant dans cette histoire c’est que le talent et la gloire n’ont pas de prise sur le destin, ils ne garantissent pas un bonheur durable et par là même, semblent absurdes.
Carmen perennis (Ballade éternelle) est un sempiternel chant funèbre qui, depuis la nuit des temps, cherche à saisir une émotion transcendante et idéale.
Fuga temporum (Vision fugitive) est sans doute la pièce la plus narrative, et évoque les méandres des pensées tourmentées (le Mississipi allégorique).
Prima lux (Lever du jour) n’est pas un dénouement plein d’espoir mais l’aboutissement du parcours qui ouvre sur la réflexion et sur les propres conclusions de l’auditeur.
