Ce compositeur prolifique se définit lui-même comme un mélodiste : « Dans le fond je crois que l’instrument que je préfère est la voix. Je voudrais parfois transformer la harpe en chant mais c’est très difficile ». Sa musique s’inscrit sans conteste dans un certain esprit français où dominent le charme mélodique la concision de la forme et leraffinement harmonique. Publié en 1977 le recueil Automates se présente comme une suite dans le goût ancien où se succèdent douze mouvements de danse assez courts : Menuet - Pavane - Bourrée - Sarabande - Gaillarde - Sicilienne - Gigue -Tambourin - Rigaudon - Gavotte - Passepied - Marche.
