S. M. Torchio: En Archè en o Logos (2007)

A deep and powerful reflection on the first lines of John's Gospel and the mistery of the Creation and of the beginning. The fascinating sound of ancient Greek creates a dialectic relationship with the modern international english language. All happens wihin a very interesting proposal for an avantgarde sacred music fitted for liturgical uses too. A considerable number of singers and of strings is required in order to create an adequate sound space and colour. Particular care is required by the intonation and the creation and substain of the right tone (which are perhaps the biggest challenge by the piece) but the entire music created by the phonemata and the training about it could be very funny and very precious and helpful for an interesting growth of a very fine Choir. The piece won the International Composition Competition Anima Mundi organized by the Opera Primaziale di Pisa in 2009.

English.

A recurring rhythmic motif begins in the accompaniment and anchors this simple but creative setting of the tune VENI EMMANUEL. The composer specifies sopranos/tenors on the upper staff and altos/basses on the lower, but we were intrigued by the fact that the piece is well-written and flexible enough to be successful in a variety of situations, large or small. Duration 3:00.
