This haunting work for flute and eight instruments is a revision of a short piece commemorating the death of Igor Stravinsky.
Boulez collaborated with flutist Lawrence Beauregard on the revision and when Beauregard died Boulez decided it should become a tribute to him, a memorial.
The NZSO in turn, perform it as a tribute to Boulez himself, who died in 2016 at the age of 90.
