CAFE for solo piano by Marc Douyon is based on the Haitian folk tune Manmam voyem peze cafe. The main theme quotes this folk melody, which is then developed with various compositional techniques. Original secondary themes and motives by the composer are an integral part of the colorful musical tapestry as well. Cafe is divided into two main parts, the Prelude and the Dance. This work begins with lyrical melodic fragments over a light chordal accompaniment. A recitative follows with a theme, which is also lyrical in nature. But, soon after, that same theme from the recitative takes on a happier character in a waltz accompanied by a walking bass. There, syncopated rhythm, sequences, chromatic harmony, and refrain-like passages take the dance to new heights until the end.

Cafe au lait was written as a commission from the Turku Music Festival in 2006. Its melodic and rhythmic elements owe something to the African material which Heinio collected while in residence at Villa Karo in Benin in December 2005 and January 2006. Score also available (item 48022788).
