In the sixth scene, Anna Maria Kienker, born in the early 19th century, is the subject of a description in German by Ludwig Joseph Schmidtmann. In the choral finale, excerpts from the British blog for anorexics, Ana, are associated with messages by other voices, male and female, in their original language: Latin, French, English, Italian and German.

These four vocal ensembles permanently occupy a kind of stratified co-presence with a few common entries on very familiar from the choral repertoire, each ensemble maintaining its specific vocal temperament. The ways in which the various references are treated and adapted are justified by the experimental nature and complexity of a long piece for unaccompanied chorus.

The four choruses sing interruptedly for over an hour in extremely complex counterpoint. Compositions [ edit ]. Awards [ edit ]. References [ edit ]. FAZ in German.

Forward and downward, turning neither to the left nor to the right , a composition for solo cello that is inspired by the Greek myth of the Labyrinth of Knossos, is well rooted in Arianna , the lost opera by Monteverdi.

In other works, the Baroque doctrine of the affections and its theatrical execution are reflected through a funhouse mirror of contemporary sensibility. The seventeenth-century libretto by Giacinto Andrea Cicognini, a true genius of Baroque theatre, is left largely intact, while the original score is quoted now and again, and the basso continuo is composed from scratch, with this new musical material intended to amplify the dramatic tension and complexity of the plot.

Rivale Rival , is also one of her most recent forays into the Baroque realm—or rather its battlefields and hostile forests. The duel between Clorinda and Tancredi, an allusion to the clash between different cultures, Christian and Muslim, has lasted for centuries and will likely last for centuries to come, as tragic and senseless as ever. In this world, intellectuals live in the darkest depths like filthy tramps trying to recover the pages of decomposing books: a powerful allegory for a world slowly losing its memory and spurning culture, while bureaucracies consolidate their control.

The Library of Public Reading is a universe of knowledge that has lost its meaning, and is doomed to ruin. Surrounding these performers, disembodied male voices—projecting as doctors, priests, and judges—subject them to flurries of disapproval, speculation, and explanations of their condition. Her fix upon the mirror of the past is part of an unremitting search for the most authentic expression of our cultural identity.
