Program Notes

The work was intended for the dark timbre of sound of the Mannheim Philharmonic Wind Orchestra. It leads in four movements to the deepness of the human psyche. Thoughts are fluttering and severe or weightless states of consciousness are changing -- music about the colors of the soul … a work that gets under one’s skin …
