The new millennium inspires curiosity, optimism, and fear of the unknown. Belgian composer Johan Nij composed Millennium Fear to capture the uncertainty of this monumental event. The piece combines dynamic sounds, feverish rhythms, and surprising sound textures in the dialogues between different instrument groups. The piece expresses the thoughts and feelings many have toward the new millennium.

Der belgische Komponist Johan Nijs hat diesen Gefühlen mit dem Stück Millennium Fever stimmigen Ausdruck gegeben. Es handelt sich dabei um ein Feuerwerk bewegter Klänge, ein Zusammenspiel fiebernder Rhyhmen und unerwarteter Wendungen, worin verschiedene Instrumentengruppen miteinander dialogisiern.

Le passage au troisième millénaire avait généré une certaine inquiétude, de la curiosité et même un certain optimisme. Dans Millennium Fever (“La fièvre du millénaire”), les sentiments oscillants deviennent un puissant tourbillon. Les rythmes, l’éclat et l’intensité des sons, associés un choix de notes inhabituel, traduisent la fébrilité de l’attente tandis qu’un dialogue très expressif se crée entre les différents groupes d’instruments, comme un dialogue entre les peuples pour un monde de paix.
