“ Una croce può essere di legno, o di ferro, o di marmo,
   ma la sua realtà non è il legno o il ferro o il marmo
   che riempie la sua forma, besì quello che sorge come
   forma là dove non c'è più materia. ”

Massimo Scaligero, SEGRETI DELLO SPAZIO E DEL TEMPO


The human vocality is the highest possibility of existence of a sound which contemplates an inner world, a sound charged by a vital energy, a human effort of being vehicle:

the essential is not the meaning of the words, but the mysterious, arcane and poetic power of their resonance.

The enchantment’s dimension is the path of contemplation which allows to dress the imago, weaving its resonant tunic.
The piece addresses human vocality as the highest possibility of existence of a sound that contemplates an inner world, a sound charged by vital energy, a human effort of becoming a vehicle: the essential is not the words’ meaning, but the mysterious, arcane and poetic power of their resonance.
“Incanto XVI” uses melodic/harmonic sequences and procedures of Franz Schubert's “Irrlicht” from the “Winterreise” and makes an imaginary transition between Arnold Schoenberg's “Madonna” and “Der kranke Mond” from Pierrot Lunaire.


" Vedendo sulla terra l'ombra delle cose
  illuminate dal sole, l'ombra della luna e 
  in talune limpide notti l'ombra lieve delle stelle, 
  egli può presentire il coro terrestre 
  delle entità cosmiche della luce. "

for ensemble (fl, cl, sax, tr, trb, perc, pf, 2 vln, vla, vc, db)

Bas Wiegers, conductor
20-09-2017, festival Traiettorie Parma 

The piece is written for and dedicated to Klangforum Wien
 In memoriam Min Jung Woo

Logos III is part of a music cycle, which establishes a connection to the human voice as the most exalted possibility of expressing a sound – a sound charged with vital energy, mirroring an innermost world; the human effort of expressing himself. It is not always the meaning of the words which is essential, but the mysterious, arcane and poetic power of their resonance.
There is a covert link between the composition and the opening choral movement of J.S. Bach's "Johannes Passion BWV 245".

A cross can be made of wood, iron, or marble,
  but its reality is not the wood or iron or marble
  which fills its form, but what arises 
  as form where there is no more matter.
