The work, which the composer counts among her favourite pieces, was inspired by the life and work of Marguerite Duras. In her play of the same name, a Flemish woman goes to Saigon at the beginning of the 20th century, marries a civil servant and has two children.After her husband's death, she also works as a piano player at the local 'Eden Cinema'. Eden Cinema, which is 'to be played like a traditional piano piece from the Romantic period' according to the composer, sounds poetic, but also cool, funny and extremely modern. Motif repetitions and ostinatos play a major role, as they do with Duras. In addition, quotations appear, literal ones from Beethoven's Hammerklavier Sonata as well as vague echoes of dance rhythms and commonplace music as used in silent film theatres. Thepreparation of the piano strings - metal parts on the high ones, rubber pieces on the low ones - creates a tonal patina and the impression of the past - 'in connection with Duras also recognizable as traumas sedimented in the subconscious, whose indistinct traces obsessively push to the surface' (Eckhard Weber).

Children’s Oak was commissioned by the wind band from Beauquesne, France. This solemn work pays homage to a city particularly affected by the two World Wars and is inspired by the knowledge that the city of Beauquesne needed to recover from these terrible episodes in its history. The title has its origin in the roots of the word “Beauquesne”, the beautiful oak tree. It is a beautiful slow piece for your concert, or as a resource to work on phrasing and intonation, or alternatively as a warm up piece.

Children’s Oak is geschreven in opdracht van het blaasorkest van het Franse Beauquesne. Dit plechtige werk is een eerbetoon aan een plaats die in de beide wereldoorlogen zwaar is getroffen. Het is ge nspireerd op de gedachte dat de gemeente Beauquesne zich moest herstellen na deze verschrikkelijke periodes uit haar geschiedenis. De titel is gebaseerd op het woord ‘beauquesne’: de mooie eikenboom. Het is een fraai langzaam stuk voor uw volgende concert dat tevens geschikt is om te werken aan frasering en intonatie. Ook is het prima muziek voor een warming-up.

Das Stück Children’s Oak wurde vom Blasorchester in Beauquesne (Frankreich) in Auftrag gegeben. Dieses feierliche Werk würdigt eine Stadt, die in den beiden Weltkriegen stark in Mitleidenschaft gezogen wurde. Geprägt von der Hoffnung, die die Stadt Beauquesne brauchte, um sich von den schrecklichen Ereignissen seiner Geschichte zu erholen handelt es sich um ein wunderschönes langsames Stück, das nicht nur für Konzerte geeignet ist, sondern auch um Intonation und Phrasierungen zu üben oder aber auch als Aufwärmstück.

Children’s Oak fut commandé par l’Orchestre d’Harmonie de Beauquesne, France. Ce morceau solennel rend hommage une ville particulièrement touchée par les deux guerres mondiales et s’inspire de l’espoir dont a eu besoin la ville de Beauquesne pour se relever des moments terribles de son histoire. L’œuvre tire son titre de l’origine du mot « Beauquesne », le beau chêne. Un magnifique morceau lent pour votre concert, ou comme ressource pour travailler sur les phrasés et l’intonation, ou sinon comme pièce d’échauffement.
