Program Note

The piece is part of a common project of the composition department of the Conservatoire Royal de Bruxelles (head: Daniel CAPELLETTI). The project involved 5 composers: Olivier DESMET, Alin GHERMAN, François HOUTART, Tong Kyu KANG, Natasha HENRY and Fanny LION.
🇧🇪 Le texte récité dans la pièce, quelque peu aménagé, est issu de l'«Apocalypse» (Nouveau Testament) dont certains extraits figurent sur la frise de l'église des Minimes.
