Music

"The work of Louis-Noël Belaubre ranks amongst the most important in the second half of the 20th century..."

Marc Honegger, vice-president (1982-92) of International Musicology Society.

Works for piano constitute a large part of Louis-Noël Belaubre’s opus, of which the clarity of the melodic line is the foremost quality. Obvious although unpredictable, it often reigns supreme with the tempi dictated by it. The free nature of his soaring lyrical outbursts is confirmed by a variable and often irregular metre.

This taste for irregular rhythms derives from his knowledge of popular music, particularly that of central Europe, thanks to the influence of Bartok. For Louis-Noël Belaubre, no single musical parameter can be taken into account in isolation, therefore complete control over the way the sounds are organised vertically remains essential for him, absolutely nothing can or should be left to chance. The harmonic series follow a highly original logic but are always based on affinities and attractions between sounds; this gives music of a tonal nature, where dissonance takes on its real dynamic and expressive value, music that is constantly changing, ambiguous, always unpredictable. By his deliberate refusal of any system, his choice of an empirical process for his compositions, and the constant references to the realities of musical perception, Louis-Noël Belaubre has developed a musical language that respects the auditive awareness of the listener and even invokes its active participation. The presence of certain "landmarks" means that musical time is understood by the memory moving backwards and forwards in real time.
