Luce prima

In 2016 Stijn Dierckx composed the suite Phenomenae Naturae for SATB and piano, where five natural phenomena are portrayed through texts of British and American authors.   

In 2020 Dierckx won the first edition of Koor&Stem’s Compostion Contest Vic Nees, in the category for students of music schools with the piece Luce Prima, that was written as an addition to and the beginning of Phenomenae Naturae. It portrays the sunrise and nature’s awakening (literally translated: the moment of first light).
