In the words of the jury, “the composition Awakening is an impressive work within the context of the idea of a “awakening”. Over the course of about 10 minutes, the composer succeeds in creating a veritable “awakening”, showing the courage to use a tonal language of her own in a clear musical form. This is a work that not only
will be a source of enjoyment in musical performance, but also undoubtedly deserves to become can established part of the performance repertoire of contemporary compositions.” The piece begins peacefully, like at dusk. Then the musicians set off on their way. The way is fraught with obstacles; doubts arise … But their motivation to go on is stronger, and despite the difficulties, their desire to reach their goal gains the upper hand and the piece ends on a joyful note.
