Lux

On 14 September 2021, Luc Craps died of cancer at the age of 59. He was a true pacesetter, extremely funny when he could, serious when necessary. Some time after his death, Luc's wife Erika asked close friend Roger to write a work in lasting memory of Luc.

Luc, a gifted cornet player, was a musician from the band 'Bravoer' from the very beginning. He also co-founded Quatre Brass, a spin-off of Bravoer consisting of four musicians, including the composer of this work.

That is why the composition starts with a tender melody, performed by four soloists. Because the composer knew that Luc could be very moved by simple, melodic music, the work was therefore deliberately written in this style.
