The
title's Third Word of
Creation refers to verses
from Rilke's Book of
Hours which indicate the
fear of what other
delicate experiments God
might come up with after
'light' and 'man'.
Schultz contradicts the
text by combining it with
the monolithic beginning
of the First Book of
Moses in the Old
Testament, which is
imbued with the rightness
of God's actions, as well
as with lines by the
Persian poet Rumi in the
translation by Friedrich
Ruckert. The latter
indicate the comforting
certainty of rebirth as
ahigher being up to the
unfathomable spirit of
God. The composer
accomplishes the feat of
weaving all three levels
into a complex, ethereal
structure in which the
words nevertheless always
remain clearly
understandable.
