Threnos, Hymnos. (1968) Two piano pieces.
Both piano pieces point towards two realms of experience. Free rhythmical sequences alternate with metrically fixed ones in the mourning song, whereas the hymn presents bold tremoli followed by fanfare-like unisono sounds. A clearly articulated space/time feeling is achieved by using unusual playing techniques.

Texts: Jorge Manrique, Paul Eluard, Georg Philipp Harsdörffer, T.S. Eliot

A work of meditation, floating and fragile, it hints at the irrational in both its vocal and instrumental sounds. The Soprano sings in Spanish, French, German and English.
