Spell Cycle : for one cellist (cello & voice) / Wilma Pistorius
Overige auteurs:
Pistorius, Wilma
(Componist)
Toelichting:
Spell Cycle is based on a Zulu creation myth of the creator goddess Mamaravi, as told by Vusamazulu Credo Mutwa and illustrated by Mark Mckeown in "Ma: Book One of the Tree of Life Trilogy" (2014). It is a story of a goddess creating the world, and like her story, the piece is a ritual, a dance and a lullaby. Through the piece, like a golden thread or a spell, runs a text in Zulu, the magical language of Pistorius’ childhood.
