The monumental work for choir and orchestra by Steve Reich is more than just a piece of minimal music – it is an acoustic metaphor for what science calls »swarm behavior«.
Countless rhythmic and melodic phr ases are woven together to form a collective structure that is more than the sum of its parts.
Reich uses the repetitive patterns typical of his music, which constantly change minimally, causing the soundscape to shift in slow motion, as it were.
Not unlike a flock of birds, each individual acts independently, but together they form a harmonious and structural whole.
Lithuanian composer Justė Janulytė is known for her minimalist, monochrome soundscapes, which she pours into slow, floating processes with a keen sense of perfect dramaturgy.
She plays with the fusion of individual voices into a collective mass and makes the transition almost invisible.
Commissioned by the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra, Justė Janulytė has been inspired to create a new work for large orchestra, which will be premiered here.
