Memoriale, a haunting work for flute and eight instruments, is a revision of a short 1971 piece commemorating the death of Igor Stravinsky.  Boulez collaborated with Ensemble InterContemporain’s principal flautist Lawrence Beauregard on the revision and when Beauregard died in 1985 Boulez decided it should become a tribute to him, a memorial.
