German
text. The title
“Jeita†has a
double meaning. Firstly,
Jeita is the name of a
district in Lebanon,
noted for the karstic
limestone cavernsin the
almost nine-kilometre
wide Nahr a-Kalb Valley.
Secondly, the roots of
the word
“Jeita†are
also found in the Aramaic
word
“GeÂ’ittsâ€
, which means
“roaring†or
“noiseâ€.
Michaela Rea Catranis had
a cave as the symbol of
isolation and creativity
in mind whilst composing
her work for cello solo.
“A quiet, hidden
place of
self-observationâ€,
as the composer says. In
addition, the
“roaring†in
this piece plays an
important role; Catranis
calls it “a
primordial, energising,
deep-bellied and
life-giving roar, notan
aggressive one. It
represents the impulse of
creative energy: both the
instinct to create and
the flow of energy
awakened throughthe
process of
creation.â€.
