Musique en Wallonie pays tribute to Belgian composer Lucie Vellere with a double CD. When she was awarded first prize in 1957 by the all-male jury of the International Composition Contest for Women Composers, organized by Grace Spofford and the American section of the Conseil international de femmes, Lucie Vellere found herself in the public eye for the first time in her life. The composer, who had always been reserved, suddenly aroused curiosity. During her 50-year career as a composer, Vellere cultivated an art of melodic line that can be compared to the curved forms of Art Nouveau – an aesthetic that also influenced many composers of her time, such as the early Debussy of Arabesques. She incorporated numerous elements of painterly, poetic, and musical impressionism, while at the same time always striving for classical clarity and balance. This recording highlights the composer’s versatile oeuvre, with pieces for voice and piano, string quartets and octets, women’s choir, and piano music. It is a musical panorama that reveals the many facets of her personality.
