Glorieux, F :: Elegy
Glorieux, F
Francois Gloreiux presents the Elegy for flute, euphonium, and piano.
Glorieux is a contemporary composer, but one who shuns avant-garde and cerebral music. His forms are free and allow for the full scope of his invention. While this is composed music, it has the flair of improvisation and fantasy created for the moment when it is sounded. His music shows echoes of the impressionism of Debussy and Ravel. Often, there is a strong element of jazz and blues and even Latin-American rhythms. At other times, there is a lyric vein that might recall cafe songs. Further there are abrupt shifts in volume, tempo and rhythm. All of this is fused into a distinct sound, the composer s own 'voice'. And it is a voice of great appeal. Franois Glorieux s greatest virtue is easy to define: he has the fatal appeal of deadly charm. Whatever the particular music might be, there is wit, refinement and cosmopolitan sophistication.
