cello & conductor

Version for strings

For baritone or mezzo-soprano and piano

As the victims of war take their first stumbling steps to try to reclaim their humanity

Tschitta saltunza Backe cello & conductorCommentary on the work: The text is in Romansh, as the piece was commissioned by a Swiss vocal ensemble. The music is for SSAATTBB with some minor solos. My vision has been to capture the light, colorful and danceable energy of a butterfly and my wish is that the choir will let the music lift with a bright attitude and clear, shimmering vocal sounds. The piece offers a few different possibilities for movements choreography, which can be developed
