GLACIER REQUIEM
The GLETSCHER-REQUIEM is a gurgling and groaning lament of the melting glacier for flute quartet and melting glacier. The eternal ice is melting. It cracks and gurgles in the mountains. The glacier is melting. A constant whistling and pounding, gurgling and rumbling - produced in the belly of ancient glaciers. Climate change is not sparing them either: the glaciers are gradually disappearing, but they are by no means disappearing silently. The original sounds of the melting glacier were recorded with highly sensitive microphones and musically processed by the composers. In the performance, the glacier becomes a musician and plays along on stage. The ice is given a voice and begins to moan.
The concert program reflects the stylistic diversity of the 21st century and at the same time opens up to media such as film and video projection as well as tape recording. This creates stories that you can immerse yourself in without looking at your watch. Works by Dorothea Hofmann, Doina Rotaru, Andreas Zurbriggen.
The GLETSCHER-REQUIEM is part 1 of the VIBRATIONS VALAISANNES trilogy created in 2016 - 2018.
