Contemporary of Claude Debussy, close friend of Maurice Maeterlinck, the composer Eugène Samuel-Holeman (1863-1942) takes us to the heart of the end-of-the-century in Belgium, between symbolism and modernism. La jeune fille à la fenêtre (1904) is a monodrama sung on a text by the writer Camille Lemonnier, major figure of the Belgian letters. Created and defended for ten years by the famous mezzo Jane Bathori, this "lyrical prose" astonishing as its instrumentation as its innovative harmonies, is a witness of the emancipation of the musical language at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
