“Meine Seele wartet…” after listening to Bach for flute, clarinet, piano and string trio

Description

“My soul waits…”
after listening to Bach, 2020 (8′)

for flute, clarinet, piano and string trio

„‘My Soul Waits…,‘ After Listening to Bach“ was a commission of the „Muzikos ruduo“ festival in Lithuania, written during the first COVID-19 pandemic wave of 2020.
Fortunately, many concerts were available online. Intuitively, I sought out concerts featuring Bach‘s music from the Thomaskirche, and I remained connected to this music for a while. Especially often I listened to the aria „Meine Seele wartet“ from the cantata No. 131 „Aus der Tiefe rufe ich“. My mind was obsessed with this music and when the commission came, I knew immediately that I would use this aria.
