Memory of Bronze
for Carillon
Sound is an allegory of passing. A sound occurs. Importantly, it occurs in time. Not only is it a narrator representing a composer as a guide to emotions or states, but above all it surrounds and penetrates space… and time! At every moment of its existence, a sound is passing into history; it lasts only
as long as the listener manages to capture it and remember it. For a composer, an encounter with a carillon is something out of the ordinary. Like few other instruments, the carillon is predestined to proclaim. Emitting sounds from a place which itself is a unique witness to history, and emitting them in such a very physical way, it assumes the role of a protector of history, the history that has played out all around and that is created – for how long, we
don’t know – in the sounds of a new work.
