Commissioned for the East-West Chamber Orchestra and Rostislav Krimer
Programme Note
On a certain level the music expresses the complex of feelings one has to go through while the most dramatic changes take place in one's life.
The loss of a beloved one. Escape from the homeland. And many more, all these situations are always connected with the most violent actions in the history of mankind, called war. The cruel, absurd and inhuman way of making politics. This music also serves as a prayer for those suffering souls.
Erkki-Sven Tüür
Dedicated to Rostislav Krimer & the East-West Chamber Orchestra
