Accordéon Mélancolique  is a Dutch accordion duo consisting of Cherie de Boer (born June 10, 1950 in Jakarta ) and Jean-Pierre Guiran (born January 27, 1957 in Vlissingen ).

history

The duo was founded in 1984. In 1997, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Marshall Plan, they were asked to play for Bill and Hillary Clinton , the Dutch Crown Prince Willem-Alexander and the former Dutch Prime Minister Wim Kok in Rotterdam , the Netherlands . Their first CD, L'Imparfait du Cœur , was released in 1998 and was named the best accordion CD of 1999 by the Swedish accordion magazine Dragspels Nytt . They then played at numerous festivals in Iceland and Denmark in the summer of 2000 and 2003 . The duo released a total of seven CDs. The sheet music for their music is also available.

style

The duo is playing more and more of their own compositions. They draw their inspiration from French musette waltzes and chansons , from Italian folk music , Antilles waltzes , Indonesian Kronchong melodies , Argentine tangos , Jewish and Greek folklore , swing standards , romantic gypsy music , classical music , merengue and Tex-Mex . The central theme in their music is the role of silence.

"By consciously integrating silence alongside the sound as a building block in your music, even the simplest pieces get an intense tension, which gives the rhythmic melodies an additional charm."

Compositions JP Guiran

Jean-Pierre Guiran's compositions emphasize the central role of melody. The expressiveness is enhanced by the use of different rhythms, as well as by the harmony, which has the role of a second voice.
