You are the shining path, you are our messenger
Bear witness to this life on earth, recount our music to the universe
You are our shining path, you are our one true messenger indeed
Bear witness to this life and to our music.
7) CONTEMPLATION
The title already suggests that this is a moment of contemplation and a resting
point before the final movement. Completely new sound combinations of
ancient temple bells with low frequency and high frequency clusters played
by the orchestra provoke deep listening and introspection before finally
returning to the initial statement: “Ubi Nihil - Ibi Omnia”.
8) UBI NIHIL RETURN
It is impossible to escape space and therefore it is a consequent move
that Space Beyond Space returns to Ubi Nihil in the end. However, no
one ever returns to the same place or situation in such a journey. This
time all the elements from the beginning have changed into a hymn of
uplifting joy, vigour and courage. The last words sung by the choir in
a very still a capella mode remind us, that even in the most dramatic
situation there is always emptiness and space.
