Viatore tells the story of a wanderer who arrives in this world, grows up in it, develops, falls in love, fills himself up and then departs. The journey is illuminated by the endless and starry universe. This composition is in one movement but is made up of two sound images. The theme of the traveller is subject to growth and development. The theme of eternity, however, does not change and is played in pianissimo. Viatore is dedicated to Arvo Part. |
