Work & Edition Details
“In the orthodox ritual the “call-signals” of the bell board (called in Greek: semanterion and in Romanian: toaca) – a pattern of rhythms with an accelerando in the beginning, a ralentando in the end and repeated sequences with irregular accents in between – are followed, as the ceremony demands, by the chime of the church bells. This piece expresses neither nostalgia after folklore-like motifs, nor the intention to revitalize the interest for orthodox rituals. I only followed some musical ideas that I had drawn out of a tradition reservoir (such as the complementariness of these two worship instruments) in order to embody them in a non-traditional architecture, with an open horizon of signification. As regarding its form, SEMANTERION-Toaca is a sort of affresco (wall paintings) with four large pictures presenting stages from the metamorphoses of characteristic aspects of the two instruments.”
