Flashback

A "flashback" is a psychological phenomenon: an experience seems to awaken the memory of something long in the past. This also happened to Jan de Haan when he was asked to write a piece for a youth selection orchestra in the Netherlands, in which he once played. Suddenly he remembered a then often played piece called "Deep Harmony" and he took this flashback as an inspiration to process this English chant in his new work. The right idea at the right moment, as the result proves!
