Memoryhouse is a contemporary classical composition by German-British composer Max Richter. It was composed in 2002 and premiered on October 24, 2002, at the Royal Opera House in London. The piece is divided into six movements and has a total duration of approximately 25 minutes. The first movement, "Europe, After the Rain," is a slow and melancholic piece that features a repeating piano melody accompanied by a string section. The second movement, "Maria, The Poet (1913)," is a tribute to the Russian poet Marina Tsvetaeva and features a solo violin playing a mournful melody. The third movement, "From the Rue Vilin," is a haunting piece that features a solo piano playing a simple melody accompanied by a distant choir. The fourth movement, "The Garden," is a more upbeat and optimistic piece that features a lively string section and a playful piano melody. The fifth movement, "Infra 5," is a minimalist piece that features a repeating piano melody accompanied by a sparse string section. The final movement, "Suburban Symphony," is a grand and sweeping piece that features a full orchestra playing a majestic melody. Memoryhouse is characterized by its use of repetition, minimalism, and melancholic melodies. The piece is often described as cinematic and has been used in numerous films and television shows. It is considered one of Richter's most popular and influential works and has helped to establish him as one of the leading composers of contemporary classical music.
