S. M. Torchio: En Archè en o Logos (2007)
A
deep and powerful reflection on the first lines of John's Gospel and the
mistery of the Creation and of the beginning. The fascinating sound of
ancient Greek creates a dialectic relationship with the modern
international english language. All happens wihin a very interesting
proposal for an avantgarde sacred music fitted for liturgical uses too. A
considerable number of singers and of strings is required in order to
create an adequate sound space and colour. Particular care is required
by the intonation and the creation and substain of the right tone (which
are perhaps the biggest challenge by the piece) but the entire music
created by the phonemata and the training about it could be very funny
and very precious and helpful for an interesting growth of a very fine
Choir. The piece won the International Composition Competition "Anima Mundi" organized by the Opera Primaziale di Pisa in 2009.
