In this
trio, as in most of his
compositions, Jost has
pictures and associations
with true incidents,
films and novels in his
mind. What inspired him
to write this piece was
Joseph Conrad's novel
'Heart of Darkness' in
which the protagonist
Marlow says about the
city of Brussels: 'In a
few hours I arrived in a
city that always make me
think of a whited
sepulchre.'In 'Sepulchral
City', a work
commissioned to mark the
tenth anniversary of the
Jerusalem Chamber Music
Festival, however, the
title refers to
Jerusalem, the city of
white tombs. The topic of
Jost's trio is a travel
into the soul and living
spirit of a city, with no
physical movement being
needed to find the heart
of impenetrable darkness:
It lies within the city
walls.In this respect,
'Sepulchral City' equals
a compositionally
unfolded funeral bell.
Even the animated middle
section rather has
insisting than
progressive power. At the
end, the only thing to do
is to inhale and
exhale.
