Following my spontaneous mail with demo CDs, I receive a Gabriel Yared's memorable fax. He congratulates me for my musical works and more... This letter is a part of ones who gaves me some 20 years additional good energy... Then, he asks me to contact Jean-Pierre Arquie and to join young composers selected by him, to form a writing team, Pleiade. He wants to create a musical creation academy. Then, I am brought to work on several projects : Gabriel Yared's theme orchestrations for the Bille August's long Les Miserables, to create songs for the Un bon Petit Diable ballet (Comtesse de Segur' story choregraphic adaptation). Roland Petit, Ecole de Ballet de Marseille choreographer and director, with which Gabriel Yared works since several years, has decided to create a ballet on this subject. He ordered to Gabriel Yared and Pleiade to compose songs. I write 6 ones on Valentine Petit's texts that I think more successful than all. Adaptations have to be made and I really give the best of myself. The composer selects musics among each musician propositions. But Roland Petit rejects works altogether... Hardly one of mine, Ou Mac-Miche a tout faux is choiced to make a end of other composer song. I understood nothing... Bad situation... I left... Finally, this 6 months experience was a bend in my way. These songs, handed to the studio table, became symphonic orchestra concert works today, whose the famous Valse de Juliette. These musics who were born for a period when I was under the fountain of youth are fabulous, I have no complex to say it. Then I thank Gabriel Yared and colleagues for all of this. Today, these works are ready to taking place on the music stands in piano, percussions and orchestra version. They form the opus named Queue diable !.
