Work Overview
"So, like a child after its mother, I flutter." - Sappho
Awakened Flutters is a collection of duos retracing Sappho's fragments in Ancient Greek where the violin and soprano seamlessly interchange their voices, awakening the new, here and now, bringing this ancient language out of sleeping.
The first five pieces were composed soon after I felt the first flutter of my baby within the womb at the beginning of the pregnancy. The live performance premiered in Laurindo, Brazil (2017) in the Capela Santa Maria, with Kaoko Amano (soprano) and Marianna Oczkowska (violin), just a couple weeks after the birth of my daughter.
Part 2, A Silver Birth, was composed in memory of the birth which happened over a full bright,
silvery moon in the middle of a hot Summer.
"The stars about the full moon lose their bright beauty when she, almost full, illumines all earth with
silver." - Sappho
