Humble Memories Creation Recital BOZAR Terarken by Arnauts, Lua 07 Beal 2018, Ó (2018/2018), Bozar, Brussels, Belgium

Kittens sleeping and playing under the stove, fun amongst friends along the way to school, birds closing the day with their subtle songs, a proud hen crossing the lawn with her chicks following, heroic dreams of knights and battles, the boring mandatory naps at school, etc… ​ This suite of small and contrasted pieces of piano music, 'Humble Memories', is a set of musically translated reminiscences of my own childhood and adolescence years. But in fact, anyone may have in his memory similar remembrances of such moments and atmospheres… ​ 'Humble Memories' consists of 19 movements, in total about 80 minutes of music. Its musical style is determined by the needs and rules of poetry and evocation. There are some impressionistic or contemplative depictions in it, but also chorals, preludes, fugues and various fantaisies - and definitively some humor too!
