I believe the answer is:

evoke

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'stir up memories' is the definition.
'evoke' can be an answer for 'stir' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'up memories' bit.

'of uplifting janacek overture' is the wordplay.
'uplifting' says the letters should be written backwards.
'of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ekove' can be found hidden inside 'janacek overture'.
'ekove' backwards is 'EVOKE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for evoke that I've seen before include "Call up (memories, for instance)" , "Call up as from memory" , "Raise" , "Draw forth (memories)" , "Recall" .)
