Work comment

This work was written for the Ensemble Du Silence with guests, sopranos Julia Mihály and Karin Pawolka, and clarinetists Daniel Schröder and Sebastian Wendt, for the performance in Hannover in October, 2012. It is one of several works using antiphonal ideas where the musicians are spread within the performance space. The sopranos' parts are vocalises, with no text. All four performers have to play also small percussion instruments.
