I was asked to write a 5-minute orchestral work expressing the current world situation, and to do it as soon as possible so that the WDR Symphony Orchestra Cologne can premiere in 2021. I started thinking.
I began to see that the topic of this orchestral work should be about touch: the physical touch we can no longer take for granted, and how we can feel socially awkward now just by stepping out of the door and having to make sure we are standing far enough away from the other people in the street.
I wanted to create an orchestral work where musical materials pass from one instrument to another, like from one hand to another: sharing, gathering, even ending up in a crowd. Something we have all missed since the beginning of 2020, and something which we now realize is what all humans need to live, from one day to the next.
To do this musically, the orchestra is the perfect conduit. I am hoping that the piece will express the dream which we are all missing right now, and which we now realize the importance of.
