chant spirituel for two guitars (score 16 pages - parts
5 pages each - duration ca. 7-8 min
Chant spirituel (2006) is founded on the friendly collaboration with
Tatjana Kukoc and Tilman Hübner. This work presents a pendant to tu
iridem aspicies that is richer in nuances and intermediate tones, both
in regard to its emotional content as well as the actual tonal material
that has been used. It is based on the notes d-e flat-f sharp-g sharp-a-b
flat-c sharp-d, a commonly used Indian scale, which is, e.g., used in
the raga Puriya Dhaneshri and is customarily played at sundown.

Tu iridem aspicies (2004)
tu iridem aspicies (You will see the rainbow) was inspired by Tilman Hübner. The intention of the work - as is the case with chant spirituel, written two years later - lies in using a limited amount of tonal material - in this case d-f sharp-g-a-c-d (Mixolydian pentatonic scale) - in order to develop a lively whole. In keeping with the ancient aesthetic ideal of finding unity in the multitude, or multitude arising from unity, the goal was to create a musical organism whose individual elements, both as detailed melodic components as well as entire formal parts, meaningfully correlate, thus presenting a coherent, understandable, and engaging framework.
