Slavomír Hořínka : Responsorium

Premiere: Martinů Hall of Lichtenstein Palace, Dec.15, 2008

The title “Responsorium” alludes to the technique of “responses” among the groups of instruments that I use in the work. In a broader sense, I thought of moments of inner questions that we scream wordlessly in ourselves hoping to find an answer. At the same time, it would suffice to listen... The composition is my contribution to the centenary of Olivier Messiaen.
