Fantasy on Three Songs of Jacques Brel
Inspired by three chanson—Mathilde, Marieke, and Madeleine—this large-scale solo piano fantasy transforms the volatile emotional world of Jacques Brel into a virtuosic concert work filled with cabaret swagger, longing, delirium, and nostalgia. Rather than simply arranging Brel’s songs, the fantasy draws equally from the physical intensity of his performances — gasping breaths, sudden outbursts, mounting desperation, and raw theatrical abandon.
Fantasy-like transformations and original interludes propel the music through a constantly shifting pianistic landscape inspired by French chanson tradition, Lisztian virtuosity, wandering Flemish and Iberian colors, jazz harmonies, and the chaotic energy of music-hall pianism. At moments glittering and seductive, at others unhinged and brutal, the work embraces both the beauty and the messiness of romantic obsession.
Approximately 13 minutes in duration, MATHILDE, MARIEKE, et MADELEINE is intended for advanced and professional pianists seeking substantial virtuoso repertoire with strong theatrical character and dramatic audience appeal.
