Le bon plaisir. Georges Delerue

Claire Després (Catheriene Deneuve), who had an affair with an ambitious man who became President of the Republic (Jean-Louis Trintignant), has her handbag stolen. Inside is a letter that suggests that a child could have been born from this affair. The President, through the Minister of the Interior (Michel Serrault), will do everything he can to find the letter and prevent the existence of this illegitimate child from being revealed.
“Générique Début” is a beautiful piece and score highlight. Delerue introduces Claire’s Theme, which plays against dark currents of suspense as she deals with the repercussions of her stolen purse that contains an old love letter from the President. The cue opens portentously with dark bass chords and plucked strings from whence ascends Claire’s Theme, a sad and lyrical solo flute line that floats over the bass chords, ultimately joined by violins. This melody is a hand over heart moment for the score and enduring testimony as to why so many people and I adore Delerue. At the 0:56 we hear for the first time the Suspense Motif. The motif is carried by a solo oboe, which plays over tremolo violins and plucked bass. At 2:32 the flute line reemerges and is soon intertwined with the Suspense Motif, which grows in urgency and tension as the cue concludes.
