*****
Le cœur de l’inspiration de cette composition se trouve dans une sorte de proverbe aux origines indéterminées : « Tourne-toi vers le soleil, et l’ombre sera derrière toi ». Depuis quelques années, je suis passionné par les sujets artistiques reposant sur des émotions positives, sur des états mentaux enthousiastes ou paisibles, d’une dynamique enjouée ou rayonnante. Ce concerto pour cor est une nouvelle fois la manifestation de cette passion. La morale de ce proverbe est puissante, et d’une vérité irréfutable. J’aime sa force motivante. Cette pièce se veut une traduction musicale de cette idée.

Cette pièce poursuit une forme de cheminement, de l’ombre vers la lumière, de la lourdeur vers la légèreté, en trois mouvements d’un seul tenant. Le premier mouvement touche à l’obscur et au chaos, des masses écrasantes alternent avec des expressions désordonnées, à l’image de pensées dispersées, désorientées. Le cor émerge, dans une individualité fragile, plaintive, hésitante. Le deuxième mouvement se poursuit dans cette expression, mais avec un esprit commençant à s’affirmer dans une forme de solidité. La plainte fait place à la résolution, ce qui était chaotique devient un dépassement du tragique. Après une transition adoucissant le discours vient le dernier mouvement, rapide, une véritable libération, l’expérience apaisante et énergisante de la lumière. Le cor, surmontant définitivement ce passé pénible, dialogue avec l’orchestre dans une clarté frémissante de vitalité.

Crackazat - Proton Blue (12'' - LT079 - Side A1) 2017

FUME is my first concerto work and I wrote it especially for Lauri Sallinen. This marvellous musician (and also a very nice person) was of much help during the writing process of the work. I'm forever grateful for all his comments on my ideas and writings during the composing process. FUME was selected to the Jury's list of recommended works in the tremendously successful 2nd International Uuno Klami Composition Competition in 2009. Today my concerto receives its first performance by a group of fine musicians. FUME is dedicated to Lauri Sallinen.

FUME is a concerto in three movements. The work is performed without breaks between the movements.

I don't find it important or necessary to give a written depiction of my works and this is why you won't get any detailed product description or user's manual of this work, either. For me, the most captivating and impressing experiences in music throughout the years have always been solely on the level of emotions and feelings. In my opinion one cannot find sufficiently satisfying words to depict these strong emotions and feelings. This is why I want to stay out from writing any pompous and allegedly intelligent statements filled with professional jargon (something you might come across in work commentaries).

Charles van Hemelryck (b. 1981) began his superior musical studies in Paris while studying philosophy at the same time at the Sorbonne. Then he graduated in composition from the National Superior Conservatory of Music and Dance of Lyon (CNSMDL), and obtained a Master’s degree in Music Pedagogy. During his curriculum he benefitted from an Erasmus scholarship to study at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki. Charles van Hemelryck’s work focuses on the genres of orchestral, chamber, choral, vocal and solo instrumental music. His music has been performed in France, Finland, Canada, Poland, Iceland and the Netherlands. In 2015 he received a grant from the Société Générale Musical Sponsorship. His piece Présence for mixed choir, written on a poem by Georges-Emmanuel Clancier, was awarded a 3rd prize in 2018 at the VocalEspoo Festival (Finland) Composition Competition. The same year he received a grant from the Beaumarchais Society (S.A.C.D.) for the lyrical project Mer de tous les maux. In 2019 his piece A Cradle Song reached the final at the Composition Competition for mixed choir from Hendrix College (U.S.), and his piece Présence was awarded an honorable mention at the RED NOTE New Music Festival Composition Competition (U.S.).

Charles van Hemelryck draws his inspiration from poetry, philosophical ideas, and nature. The goals of his music are to meditate on the world, to make a thought perceptible and to move people so as to initiate reflection. His first works are mainly inspired by the conflicts of the human soul. More specifically, his string quartet Citizen of the Universe raises the question of the spiritual quest for freedom and happiness in spite of the obstacles of fear and violence.

In 2019 he successfully passed the examination of Artistic Teaching Territorial Professor. He has taught harmony, counterpoint, orchestration, composition and analysis at the Valence Romans Agglo Conservatory until 2023 and has taught orchestration and anthropology of music at the University of Burgundy in 2022-2023. He teaches now at the Pays de Montbéliard's Conservatory.
