Notes on Lamentate • When l first saw Marsyas by Anish Kapoor at the opening of the exhibition, October 2002, in the Turbine Hall of Tate Modern in London, the impactthat it had upon me was a powerful one. My first impression was that l, as a living being, was standing before my own body and was dead - as ina time-warp perspective, at once in the future and the present. Suddenly, l found myself put into a position in which my life appeared in a different light. In this moment l had a strong sense of not being ready to die. And l was moved to ask myself just what l could still manage to accomplish inthe time left to me. • Death and suffering are the themes that concern every person born into this world. The way in which the individual comes to terms with these issues (or fails to do so) determines his attitude towards life - whether consciously or unconsciously. • With its great size, Anish Kapoor's sculpture shatters not only concepts of space, but also - in my view - concepts of time. The boundary between time and timelessness no longer seems so evident. • This is the subject matter underlying my composition Lamentate. • Accordingly, l have written a lamento - not for the dead, but for the living, who have to deal with these issues for themselves. A lamento for us, struggling with the pain and hopelessness of this world. • Lamentate is music for piano solo and orchestra. With respect to itsform, however, the composition cannot really be described as a typicalpiano concerto. l chose the piano to be the solo instrument because it fixes our attention on something that is one . This one could be a person, or perhaps a first-person narrative. Just as the sculpture, despite its overwhelming size, leaves the viewer with a light and floating impression, the piano, largest of the instruments, allowed me to createa sphere of intimacy and warmth that no longer seems anonymous or abstract. • —— Arvo Pärt • Performers: • Pedro Piquero (Piano) • Álvaro Albiach / Orquesta de Extremadura • Audio from • Arvo Pärt: Lamentate • I do not own neither the score, nor the recordings used in this video.
