Aure (2011/2015) The Shadows of Time for orchestra by Henri Dutilleux is a work that I particularly admire. It is a rich and extraordinarily shaped composition. I find the third movement, “Mémoire des ombres” (Memories of Shadows) deeply moving in its subject (the text is a sentence from Anne Frank’s diary: “Why us, why the star?”), in its dedication: “for Anne Frank and for all the children in the world, all innocent (1945–1995)”, and in its unforgettable compositional mastery. I took a phrase, the first one sung by the child’s voice, as a point of departure for my little homage because it has often come to my mind since 1998, the year I first heard the work. I wrote this piece originally as an homage to Henri Dutilleux’s 95th birthday. Aure: physics, old word. Breeze, breath, air: We were caressed by a gentle breeze that our ancient language called “aure”; a kind of delicate morning breeze, misty and scented in the dew. Chateaubriand, Mémoires d’outre-tombe (Memories from Beyond the Grave) Kaija Saariaho
