{"content":"\n    <div class=\"detail-content\">\n        \n        <strong>About work:</strong> <p>This work represents a certain turning-point in my composing. It is the result of my most recent reflections on a synthesis of instrumental and vocal music in a new form, which is inspired by the old, predominantly Renaissance music and by the music of even earlier periods, that is to say by the period of Ars nova and Ars antiqua. Despite the fact that I have been working with archetypal materials for a relatively long time, purely instrumental work has been rather exceptional during my last period. The ambition of this newly-emerging free cycle of instrumental motets will be, apart from the synthesis mentioned already, to make an attempt at an inner archetypal spirituality, perhaps also a transcendent union with God, or an authorial quest for a new quality of intimacy. <br />The skeleton of the work is a kind of cantus firmus, which takes its departure from the eponymous Mass by the Renaissance composer Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina and pervades the composition in various shapes and forms. At the same time, the work presents an entire scale of the characteristic turnings, new situations and affects which we may ordinarily meet with, say, in the work of the Early Baroque masters. The composition is dedicated to my dearest ones, Emka and Gabika.</p><br>\n        <em>(author, in: Bulletin Melos-Ethos 2015, p. 89.)</em><br>\n        <br>\n        \n\n        <p>\n                <p><strong>First performance in Slovakia</strong></p>\n                \n                \n                13.11.2015,\n                Melos-Ethos,\n                Large Evangelical Lutheran Church,\n                Bratislava,\n                SK\n\n<br><span class=\"type\">Performers: </span>Solamente naturali, Peter Vrábel (dir.)\n                <br>\n\n\n            </p>\n    </div>\n"}
