Aus der Dunkelheit

Inspired by the changes the world has made after three years of a pandemic, this piece has the character of a prayer for our civilization to return out of darkness into the light. It seeks to remember those who lost their lives during this period and also to think of those who feel fragile, anxious or bereft of hope.

In compositional terms, it follows a harmonic and dynamic process leading from a bleak, dismal chromatic zone to a magnificent, transparent world of sound, and ending with the optimistic thought that we will find a way out of darkness and set ourselves again on the path towards enlightenment.
