  • The order of the instrumentation in PART II may change as the work progresses.

Details:

  • composed: 13.9..2024 – 15.11.2024
  • dedicated to: in Memorian of  Reijo Vähälä
  • manuscript: 14 pages
  • extra-details: This composition was supposed to be the main work at the 30th anniversary concert of my and Reijo Vähälä’s collaboration in autumn 2025. This concert would have been the first part of a planned concert trilogy of Bible speeches and sermons.
  • extra details: According to the original plan, the spoken parts of the work would have been performed together with music, as in my composition Holocaust-Lamentations.
  • extra details: Due to the death of Reijo Vähälä on 27.9.2024, I decided to change the structure of the work so that the spoken parts can be performed by any (male) person with good reading aloud skills. A male person read only because the speeches are the speeches of male characters in the Bible. Because of this, some of the music parts are shorter ”interludes” than originally planned.
  • extra details: In due course, when I compose other works in the concert trilogy – with a changed plan, such as this one – I will also dedicate all my compositions to the memory of Reijo Vähälä.
  • extra details: However, due to the changed plan, the total duration of the compositions changes so that it would be more meaningful to perform them as a whole of five concerts. However, these concerts are no longer planned.
