Montagna Verde

“Ülestõus” on teos usust, mis kannab edasi aja- ja ruumiülest tajumust suurtest algustest, mis tihtipeale järgnevad rasketele üleelamistele. Orkester on selle teose puhul nagu elav organism, mille igas liikmes kandub edasi sünkroniseeritud emotsionaalne pinge, mis taotleb viia kuulaja kõige olulisemani – uue hingetõmbeni. Meloodiliselt viitab teos idamaise traditsiooni ülestõusmishümnile “Wa Habibi”, lisades orkestraalsele materjalile araabia helikunsti traditsiooni tundelisust. Loo hübriidne sisu ja mänguliselt fragmenteeritud vorm kehastavad universaalset riitust, mis on osaks üldinimlikust kogemusest.

Esiettekanne 14.05 2023 EMTA suur saal, Eesti Muusika- ja Teatriakadeemia sümfooniaorkester, dirigent Toomas Vavilov

"Resurrection" is a work about faith that conveys a perceprion across time and space about great beginnings that often follow difficult experiences. In this work, the orchestra is like a living organism, each member transmits a synchronized emotional tension that seeks to bring the listener to the core of the piece - a new breath. Melodically, the work refers to the resurrection hymn "Wa Habibi" of the Eastern tradition, adding to the orchestral material the sensibility of the Arabic sound art tradition. The pieces hybrid content and playfully fragmented form embody a universal ritual that is part of the universal human experience.

Premiere 14.05 2023 EMTA big hall, Estonian Academy of Music and Theater Symphony Orchestra, conductor Toomas Vavilov

KÕIGE ALL
Hando Runnel

Armastus on kõige all.
Tema kannab isamaja,
raskusi, mis eluks vaja.
Armastus on kõige all.
Armastus on kõige all.
Ime et kõik ära kannab,
isegi veel võrseid annab.
Armastus on kõige all.

Coming out of the Womb
for sinfonietta

Life is passing by and you float in its' stream. Wrapped in something warm and soft, completely familiar. You feel safe, it is the only way you have ever known. Suddenly the world around changes. The switch was so quick, you didn't even notice. Everything around and inside of you has shifted. There is no going back to before. You have arrived here.
