- BENEDICTUS (c. 7' )
Benedictus makes the
listener listen to the
world through a veil of
voices wrapped tightly
around the listener.
Listening to the world is
listening inwardly -
Think before you listen!
Eighteen months ago I was
on Gotland wandering
among walls in the small
streets, in the church,
and I thought that it was
actually a Benedictus
place - the old
Catholicism seen and
heard through new Nordic
eyes and ears. Benedictus
can of course be
performed in the church
in Visby or in other
similar places, but it
does not need to be a
church. I would suggest
having it on a programme
with spatial music rather
than a traditional
choralprogramme. EA,
vocal, instrumental works
where the sound comes
from everywhere around.
