Jangan Lupa was written in memory of the victims of the terrorist bombings that took place in Bali on 12 October, 2002. The commission for the work came from Indonesian pianist Ananda Sukarlan, and was one of a number of Bali-inspired works commissioned by Sukarlan in response to the bombings. Being familiar with Bali due to several journeys there, Farr was deeply affected upon hearing of the bombings. The composer says of the Balinese people that they are "incredibly forgiving and get on with life – their music and dance reflects this and keeps going undeterred." The pianist will find Jangan Lupa's journey through catharsis, hope and sorrow to be a worthy test of their expressive capabilities.

The trauma at the heart of Jangan Lupa is evident in the thunderous opening chord in the piano's lower register and in the group of rhythmic upper register stabs that follow. A tender, drifting melodic statement emerges from the resonance of the opening material, and eventually receives a rhythmic foundation through a soft internal pedal note. As the work expands in register, this tenderness takes on a defiant strength before the eventual return of the work's turbulent opening material. We are reminded of the sombre circumstances surrounding the work's origin in its final moments, in the delicate gravitas of the repeated octave chord in the piano's lower register. The phrase "jangan lupa" translates to "don't forget".
