about

Lapides, flores, nomina et sidera / Stones, Flowers, Names and Constellations
For mixed choir, piccolo flute, trumpet, trombone, and tamburo profondo
(2008)

This is a composition of singing words rather than autonomous music and is based on liturgical texts and the Latin names of stones, flowers and constellations. The chanting, the music – it all relates into a continuous structured process. The compositional elements – the psalms, the formula Requiem aeternam and the responsory Libera me (the latter presented in authentic form) – repeated in each part, bring the musical process closer to a ritual reminiscent of liturgical All Souls’ Day processions. However, instead of being performed by a moving, it is performed by a regular standing choir. This static solution was brought about by an initial idea: to perform this composition simultaneously by many different choirs in various parts and courtyards of the Old Town, for both the strolling and the rushing passers-by to hear. This concept determined a lot of other things too, namely, the stable nature of the sound of quite long sections, founded on one continuous pedal point or monotonously repeated melodic motifs. The music’s non-concert purpose and planting it into the communal city area, as well as the fact that it is more like a prayer or a psalm rather than a “composition” in nature, all led to maximal simplicity in musical expression and its natural interaction with long-lived traditions, which complement the choice and elementary functions of accompanying instruments.
