Kevin Houben created with When the Lights Go Down, a wonderful chorale that can be a moment of reflection in any concert program.
The resigned, magnificent melodies at the beginning of this composition slowly build up to a highlight with an increasing orchestration. The piece starts with a suggestive Adagio Meditativo, after which the main theme is immediately announced. A central bridge section takes the listener along through the different spheres at which the melodic and rhythmic drums embellish the chorale melodies. Thematic elements from the introduction brings the piece to a quiet and peaceful end.
The sheer simplicity with which this work is written, makes it a resplendent, magnificent concert piece. When the Lights Go Down, refers to a moment when time stand still for a while, stillness within and around yourself.
