Sista visits the grief of an
African family losing a
beloved child, as well as
the deep connection to
the spirit world of the
ancestors, which makes it
possible for family and
friends to carry on after
her death. Polyphonic
layers of song in the
finale reflect the
polyrhythmic nature of
the traditional Ghanaian
music which helped
inspire this piece.
Duration ca. 5 minutes 30
seconds.
