Program note
This piece is a constellation of symbols, the most obviuos ones being the bells (whose meaning changes according to when and how we hear them), imaginary bells (the piano), and a XIIIth century motet, whose meaning is probably different for us now than it was for people then.
Osvaldo Golijov, site internet du compositeur.
