Vita Fugax : for cello / Marijn Simons
Overige auteurs:
Simons, Marijn
(Componist)
Toelichting:
Vita Fugax means "fleeting life".
The opening movement, Secret Societies, is a social commentary on behind-closed-doors politics and silly conspiracy theories.
The second movement, Futurology, is based on Stanislaw Lem's novel The Futurological Congress.
The third movement, Christian Extremism, is a statement against extremism (of any sort), which, unfortunately, is still too much a part of our present society.
The final movement's title, A Fairy Story, comes from a quote by a man I admire, Stephen Hawking: "A belief that heaven or an afterlife awaits us is a fairy story for people afraid of death."
