Sona
ta No. 6 Kharkiv for
guitar solo was composed
in 2021, in the end of
the COVID-19 lockdown. At
that time my family and I
were staying in our home
city of Kharkiv (also
known as Kharkov),
Ukraine for almost two
years. We considered that
pandemic period as a
disaster, but later have
realized that it actually
was a rather happy time,
because a war came to our
homeland just a few
months later. Since 2022
a considerable fraction
of the 1.5 millions of
Kharkiv citizens have
left their homes, those
who stayed have been
living under ceaseless
missile attacks, and many
have been killed. I would
like to dedicate this
Sonata to the frontier
city of Kharkiv and, most
of all, to its citizens
suffering from the
war. Yet, the music of
the Sonata does not have
any specific program.
Here I will give a brief
overview of its main
composition elements to
facilitate future
interpretations. The
first and fourth
movements of this Sonata
are based on the
interplay between the
twelve-tone principle and
the G-major tonal center,
natural for the guitar.
Namely, the first
movement is based on the
interaction of the
G-major triad Gâ??Bâ??D
of the open guitar
strings 2â??3â??4,
ascending motif 1
involving the notes
Eâ??F#â??Aâ??C#
(originally on the first
string), and descending
motif 2 using the notes
E-â??Câ??Bbâ??A-
(originally, on the bass
string 6). These elements
supplement each other to
almost make up twelve
tones (apart from the
missing F), and the
motifs alternate with
ostinato fragments where
each note in the G major
triad is step-by-step
moved by a semitone up or
down. The second
movement is a Scherzo
involving numerous
semitones in accented
chords and fast passages,
as well as chromatic
melodic motion in the
bass voice. It is almost
atonal in some fragments,
but has an overall tonal
center of A-minor. The
third movement is a
meditative Adagio based
on a theme composed
within hexatonic scale
Dâ??Eâ??Fâ??G#â??Aâ?
?B and ostinato chords
involving open bass
strings Eâ??Aâ??D and
semitone
Bâ??C. Finally, the
fourth movement is based
on the complete
twelve-tone theme
consisting of two phrases
including motifs 1 and 2
from the first movement:
Gâ??Fâ??Bbâ??Abâ??Câ
??Ebâ??D and
Eâ??Bâ??C#â??Aâ??F#.
This theme is presented
in its prime and
retrograde forms. There
are dialogues between the
first string, basses and
open middle strings,
similar to the first
movement. In the
culmination, the
twelve-tone theme is
performed using the
parallel motion of the
standard guitar G-major
chord with open middle
strings across twelve
positions. The Sonata
was premiered and
recorded (CD Naxos No.
8.574630) by the
prominent Ukrainian
guitarist Marko Topchii
who has also lived and
studied in Kharkiv. I am
extremely grateful to him
for the brilliant
performance of this
piece. I am greatly
indebted to Productions
dâ??Oz for keeping my
original notations in
places where these do not
conform to the
publisherâ??s style.

Francis
Bebey was born in Douala
in July 1929, into a
large family where his
father, a pastor,
struggled to feed his
children. But Francis had
the opportunity to go to
school. Admiring his
elder brother, Marcel
Eyidi Bebey, he educated
himself, distinguished
himself, and eventually
received a scholarship to
go and take his
baccalaureate in
France. We approached
the end of the 1950s when
he arrived in La
Rochelle. More than ever,
in this France where
Africans were looked at
with curiosity,
condescension, or
disdain, Francis relied
on his intellectual
resources. A diligent
worker, he obtained his
Baccalaureate, then moved
to Paris where he started
English studies at the
Sorbonne. One day, he
knew what truly attracted
him: he wanted to do
radio. Francis learned
his craft in France and
in the USA. After
working for a few years
as a reporter, he was
hired in 1961 as an
international civil
servant in the UNESCO
Information
Department. In
parallel, Francis had
always been drawn to
musical creation. His
very serious daytime
activity didnâ??t
prevent him from
frequenting jazz clubs in
the evenings. In Paris,
the Jazz, the trendy
music of that time, but
also rumba and salsa
attracted him. He
collected records and
attended numerous
concerts. With his
accomplice Manu Dibango,
Francis took the stage
and played
music. Francis liked
classical music since his
childhood. He grew up
listening to the cantatas
and oratorios of Bach or
Handel that his father
had sung in the temple.
He became passionate
about the guitar,
impressed by the Spanish
and South American
masters, and decided to
learn to strum the
instrument himself. He
started composing guitar
pieces, blending the
various influences that
flow through him with the
traditional African music
he had carried within
since childhood. His
approach captivated the
director of the American
Cultural Center (then
located in the
Saint-Germain
neighborhood of Paris),
who offered him the
opportunity to perform in
front of an audience.
Francis gave his first
guitar recital there
(1963) in front of a
mesmerized audience. His
first solo album was
released shortly
thereafter. Gradually,
Francis became recognized
as a musician and
composer. Several albums
of the African guitar
ambassador, as described
by the press, were
released. He also wrote
books, to the point that
his artistic career
became challenging to
reconcile with his career
as a civil servant. In
1974, even though he had
become the General
Manager in charge of
music at UNESCO, he took
the bold leap and
resigned from this
prestigious institution
to dedicated himself to
the three activities that
interested him: music,
literature, and
journalism. He
explored the traditional
musical heritage of the
African continent,
notably through the thumb
piano sanza, and the
polyphonic music of the
Central African pygmies,
or singing in his native
language and composing
humoristic songs in
French! Success
followed. Francis Bebey
traveled the world: from
France to Brazil,
Cameroon to Sweden,
Germany to the Carribean,
or Morocco to Japan...
the list of countries
where he was invited to
perform, gives lectures,
or meets readers is very
long. In addition to
public recognition, he
enjoyed the recognition
of his fellow musicians,
such as guitarist John
Williams or Venezuelan
Antonio Lauro, who
invited him to be a part
of the jury for a
classical guitar
competition in
Caracas. His life was
the journey of an African
pioneer, a man rooted in
his cultural heritage and
carrying a message of
sharing and hope for the
world. His originality
continues to vibrate
around the world since
his passing at the end of
May 2001.
