Composer’s Notes

 

Soloists and choir are to sing on neutral syllables throughout, decided upon by the conductor. The conductor is encouraged to choose vowels and syllables that reflect the choir’s native language. These vowels/syllables may change throughout the piece. Lyrical lines should be sung without consonants, with one exception: singers are allowed to sing a slight “H” at the beginning of phrases in the higher register. Rhythmic lines can be sung with a subtle consonant. For example: “da, da, da.”

 

The movement is integral to the work, and it requires the piece to be memorized.
