Fr�d�ric Devreese (b. 1929)
Music to films by Andr� Delvaux
Benvenuta (1983) (Suite, 1986)
Un Soir, un Train� (1968)
L'Oeuvre au Noir (1988) (Suite)
Belle (1973)
Music Composed and Conducted by Fr�d�ric Devreese
Played by the Belgian Radio and Television Philharmonic Orchestra
Fr�d�ric Devreese is a composer of operas, orchestral works, concertos, ballets, music for
plays and television dramas, chamber music, and, last but not least, film scores. In films for which
he provided the music, brief fragments may be heard, arranged for various instruments and edited
to suit the duration of the film sequence. Devreese always provides, however, an orchestral version
of these scores, with the fragments interwoven into a full musical entity, suitable for performance in
the concert-hall. These are then made into film suites, such as Benvenuta (1986), which contains a
Habanera, Waltz and Tango, forming a dance suite, preceded by a dreamy prelude. This music is able
to stand on its own, but within the film it is intended to provide a further dimension to the original,
visual dramatic reality. Without actually being descriptive, the music is of a highly evocative nature.
Although the early score for Un Soir, un Train� (1968) is closely related to the typical genre of
smooth-sounding French film music, there is no playing to the audience with a singable tune,
repeated to the point of tedium. On the contrary, the audience is stimulated into creative synaesthetic
assimilation of diverging impulses for the eye and ear. The unifying musical theme is ever present,
but assumes different guises, so that the viewer is constantly wondering whether he recognises
it or not, rather than being comforted by the mere confirmation of repetition. In this way the elusive
leitmotiv of Z�non in L'Oeuvre au Noir (1988) works as an image of youth and travelling, for the
departure and for the nightmare of the principal character. The same is true of the main theme of
Benvenuta, which maintains an underlying, almost imperceptible presence throughout the various
dance movements. In Belle, too, as Andr� Delvaux observes, the musical unit around which
the entire film is constructed (Life ebbs away, life is gone with the wind), taken from the Bach
Prelude in F minor, is the starting-point which is left far behind. Starting from there, Fr�d�ric
Devreese wrote all the music for the film, drawing the title-music from it at the beginning and
at the end, the song, the more violent music used at certain points and the music corresponding
to La Fagne and Belle. It may be added that this is the traditional r�le of the musician, starting
from a unit, which is then developed into several parts and variations, depending
on the requirements of the work.
