Par HOUBEN KEVIN. Kevin Houben a composé avec When the Lights Go Down, un merveilleux choral qui peut amener un moment de réflexion dans tout programme de concert. Les mélodies humbles et magnifiques du début de cette composition se développent lentement jusqu'à atteindre un point culminant avec une orchestration croissante. Le morceau commence par un Adagio Meditativo suggestif, suivra l’exposition du thème principal. Une section centrale sous forme de pont emmène l'auditeur à travers les différentes sphères dans lesquelles les percussions mélodiques et rythmiques enrichissent les parties du choral. Finalement, les éléments thématiques de l'introduction ramènent le morceau à une fin calme et paisible. La simplicité même avec laquelle cette œuvre est écrite en fait une pièce de concert accomplie et magnifique. ‘When the Lights Go Down’ fait référence à un moment où le temps s'arrête pour un instant, au calme en soi et autour de soi./ Répertoire / Concert Band/Harmonie
