✣ De Herinnering (2022) ✣

A memorial piece for Louis Andriessen written for large chamber ensemble.

Violin, Double Bass, Flute (+Piccolo), Clarinet (+Bass Clarinet), Trombone, Percussion, Harp

Dutch for 'the remembrance', or 'the memory', De Herinnering is a piece honouring the legacy of the late Louis Andriessen. I had only discovered his large catalogue of works just before his passing in 2021, and I wanted to capture his compositional voice in the impression I formed when I heard it for the first time - music that was moody, punchy, humourous, and expansive.

Written as the final piece for my undergrad at The University of Birmingham. It was workshopped and performed by Birmingham Contemporary Music Group (BCMG).
