Beschreibung
My new work for the CALMUS Ensemble was commissioned for their 25th anniversary and continues a very intensive and successful collaboration following my composition And why?. Since its premiere, And why? has had over 100 performances worldwide on several continents, so I was very familiar with the qualities of the ensemble.
The text is based on the Song of Songs from the 13th chapter of 1 Corinthians by Paul of Tarsus and deals with the theme of love for one's neighbour, a very topical and timeless theme in the history of mankind.
Compositionally, a main theme (face to face) returns again and again in a rondo-like manner and, with its tonal material, also forms the basis for constantly varying sound structures.'
