Astra - Reminiscences

Nights (for amplified ensemble - Kingma system bass flute, cello & piano)

The piece is scored for 24-part mixed choir & instrumental ensemble. The text used is the first ten lyrics of Homer’s Odyssey, the invocation (epiklisis) to the Muse, in three different languages (Ancient Greek, Latin and English); an effort to bring out the panhuman substance of the poem in conjunction with the music itself. Temporal structures which evolve or reappear variated throughout the piece, along with the soundscapes created through the use of instrument and voice techniques, create a narrative-dramatic form which is dictated by the poem itself.
