Brahms, a muse.

This classic tune by Brahms was a very important inspiration when I wrote "Tables and Beds". For me the melody captured all the nostalgia and beauty that I felt the character of Mar longed for in her life.

This theme was masterfully used in one of my favorite movies. "Amiez Vous Brahms?" or in the United States "Never Say Goodbye" starring Ingrid Bergman, Ives Montand and Anthony Perkins.

The movie was based on a novel by the great French novelist Françoise Sagan, first published in 1959. It was then published in the USA in 1960, an a year later made into this movie. You can see the beginning of this unjustly forgotten classic here, and the monumental use of Brahms in its soundtrack.

The score for US production of "Tables and Beds" will be composed and produced by Chicago Theater Sweatshop Company Member, Gabriel Dib.
