Synopsis

Written in August 2011, this piece was premiered in Courchevel with Philippe Colin-Hattat (piano) and the composer playing the viola. Revised in June 2012 for the fit public performance in Belgium.

The english translation of the title is "The morning of the seventh day". It attempts to create a feeling of calmness and fullness through the use of 7-note chords which I usually call "hypertonal" because they preserve the impression of a tonal center despite their rich and complex sound.
