The
last decades we humans
have witnessed a
significant number of
disturbing developments.
If we look at the direct
and persistent
destructive influence of
humans on nature: air and
water quality are
reducing, soils are
depleting, crops are
short of pollinators,
coasts are less protected
from storms,
deforestation, the
degradation of land, loss
of biodiversity and
pollution. In stark
contrast we find the
intelligence and
boundless creativity of
humans: what about all
the high technological
advancements? What lies
ahead in the realm of
Artificial Intelligence?
Will we let machines make
human decisions? What
ethical issues arise
there? This composition
reflects the desperation
and urgency of the human
need for action. The
music draws inspiration
from the brutal natural
forces that ravage our
world as a direct
consequence of human
failure and selfishness.
Are we heading towards a
'Judgment Day'? Or will
humanity find a way to
reverse negative trends
towards a more livable,
peaceful, and joyful
environment for humans,
animals, and nature? To
underscore this message,
composer Peter Knockaert
opted for a highly
classical idiom that has
been used by many
composers in classical
music: the 'Dies Irae'.
Traditionally, the Dies
Irae is the third part of
a requiem (funeral mass).
The text used in
'Judgment DayÂ? (for
optional choir) is coming
from the original Latin
text.
