Sand & Foam

Description

"Sand and Foam" by William Knight (born 1987) sets selected aphorisms of Khalil Gibran to music, inviting reflection on creation, the fall, and the silent inevitability of the end. In Knight's vision, life and death are inseparable, and after our disappearance, the traces of our existence are definitively erased "between sand and foam.""Missa pro defunctis" by Victor Kioulaphides (born 1961) revisits the promise of eternal peace of the Requiem, seeking to provide the listener with serenity rather than spectacle.The Het Nederlands Bach Consort is recognized for its bold and experimental programming, deeply rooted in Bach's work, which translates social trends into accessible and always stimulating interpretations, and into commissions from established and emerging composers.
