The reveille is a morning song, a wake-up call. The French word réveil, meaning ‘awakening’, is of crucial significance for me in this work. It is an appeal for caution, but also for change, for sobering up and taking a fresh look at ourselves and the world around us. Remaining too long in a cosy arrangement, although it may seem convenient, is actually ineffective. Reveille for carillon is a work in three movements, the first and third of which represent a cry, a wake-up call, while the middle movement is calm. It includes a quotation from a sixteenth-century Protestant hymnal with words by Mikołaj Rej: ‘Let us all the reveille sing, praise to God our lord and king’.
