OAKVILLE BEAVER Friday, April 17, 2009 · 30 Choir performing new Rutter classic, Demuynck soon-to-be classic Continued from page 29 Demuynck said he expects the audience will also enjoy his work, Ah My Love Flutters, written for choir, soloists and orchestra. This is the first time the piece, which consists of five movements, will be performed in its entirety. One movement has not yet been performed in public, making the April concert its world premiere. Demuynck composed the work between 2006-07. "It was a really special process to write this piece, then rearrange it for Masterworks and getting to perform it here makes it even more special," he said. Ah My Love Flutters is based on a French poem of the same name, Ah Voltige Mon Amour, by black poet Gérard Étienne (1936-2008). Demuynck came across the poem in a library and was transfixed by its mes- sage and subject matter. "He wrote this poem when he was living in Haiti," he said.

The rest of it is very sunny." While some people shy away from contemporary works, Demuynck's piece is tuneful, he said. "Although my music sounds nothing like Mozart, I have the same objective that he did, which is to please everybody," he said. "What I mean is that a person with no musical training and a person with a high degree of musical training can appreciate and find something in this music they enjoy. Another one of my objectives is that I want to walk exactly on the line between classical music and jazz." Demuynck will be conducting the work. He said he gets butterflies before presenting one of his own compositions. "It is more stressful than presenting someone else's music," he said.
