Programme Note
Requiem A combines liturgical and new texts. The ‘A’ in the title stands for ‘Beginning’ (German ‚Anfang’) and admonishes with poetic pictures reconciliation and new beginnings. ‘Setting off‘ (Aufbruch), ‘ashes‘ (Asche) and ‘breathing‘ (Atmen) are key words in the texts which seek a way out of mourning and into life.
Requiem A consists of nine parts with a concert duration of approximately 60 minutes.
It includes live visuals by Icelandic film artist Máni M. Sigfusson.
