A Belgian And His Friends is the fourth and final movement to an orchestral suite written about the Belgian cartoon character Tintin. The entire Tintin Suite is specifically written not to tell a linear story but to focus on the emotions engendered by certain characteristic behaviors or decisions made by Tintin and his companions. A Belgian And His Friends serves as a traditional final movement, combining elements of the previous movements while also developing original ideas. The piece focuses on the sense of adventure that the Tintin cartoons are so famous for. At the same time, the adventure is balanced with a light and almost dance-like feel, which serves as a reminder of the cartoonish nature of Tintin and his friends. Fear, danger, and the strong loyalty that Tintin has towards his companions are featured as well before the piece comes to a dramatic close, illustrating the adrenaline and ultimate satisfaction of finishing one of Tintin’s grand adventures.
