About Me |
|
| « I can hardly distinguish between music and my life. That would be a kind of guaranteed suicide. Music provides everything: the possibility of escape, of discovering the generosity of others and discovering our own. In a foreign country, even without speaking the language, musicians understand each other. It is an extraordinary means of communicating. »(La Voix du Nord, March 25, 1975)« One of the great joys of composing for films is that the composer can hear his music produced almost immediately. I have written symphonic pieces that have grown dusty in drawers for the last ten years. Nothing is more frustrating for an orchestral composer than not to hear his music played! When you compose a film score, the ink of the notes is hardly dry before you're conducting it, which accounts for the rapid progress one can make in orchestrating technique. As the composer listens to his music, he corrects it right away. »(Notes for the Society of Authors, Composers, and Publishers of Music, January, 1992)« I'm a lot more happy than I am anguished. But there must be something in me that is anguished and that I can't identify, because I am often told that I write very nostalgic music. "Oh, that Delerue nostalgia, it's well known." Well, I suppose so, but that isn't really me. Or it's something that really is me, that I am not conscious of, and that others can recognize. »(Film Music : Georges Delerue, a documentary by Jean-Louis Comolli, 1994) | |
