De stille weg
de maannachtlichte weg -

de boomen
de zoo stil oudgeworden boomen - 
het water
het zachtbespannen tevreeë water.

En daar achter in 't ver de neergezonken hemel 
met 't sterrengefemel.

De stille weg

A thread; sometimes 
audible, sometimes hidden
completely disappeared

little drops are shaking
a house is built and
broken down

until again.. that first thread
floating in the air

The very lightweight thread floats in the moving air

The text for the piece is taken from The Ruin, an Old English poem which depicts a fallen Roman city. The poem is part of the Exeter Book, a large collection of verses and riddles which dates from the 10th century. The only existing copy of the book was damaged in a fire, affecting what survives of The Ruin. In light of this, I only used extracts of the poem from which words have been lost. In a similar way, some of the musical material has been dismantled to reflect this.

A huge thanks to Orkest de Ereprijs, Wim Boerman, Ana Maria Lopes, Carolina Luís, Francisca Branco, Rob Vermeulen, Martijn Padding, Richard Ayres, Ed Bennett, Anna Korsun, Silvia Borzelli, Guus Janssen, Georgia Denham, Ryan Probert, Paul Zaba, Robert Crehan, Robin Morton, Celia Swart, Paolo Griffin, Dani Blanco Albert, Hugo Bell, Sam Milan, Joe Rhodes and Stephen Plummer.
