A commission of the DSO Orchester Berlin, Hospes comesque lunae (Guest and friend of the moon) for orchestra (2006-07) was premiered at März Musik festival 2007 (dir. Toshio Hosokawa). The concert was part of an international workshop held in Berlin by Hosokawa and the DSO. The orchestra is disposed in a non conventional way in the space.
The work is inspired by an eclogue by Andrea Zanzotto, where the famous verses by the emperor Hadrianus "Animula, vagula, blandula" is at the basis of the rhytmic structure. The poem is a visionary collection of the attributes of the moon in the history of culture, included some scientifical terms. An invocation to the moon which is central also in Oriental cultures, above all in Japan: the title of the work stems from a verse of Kyoraishô, an antology of poetry and prose of the Bashô school (XVII century).
