ISBN 9790206205347. 9 x 12 inches. Romansh. Vaplan, Bibi.

The song cycle „E las culurs dals tuns“ („And the colours of sounds“) was composed in 2017 to a commission by the Summer Music Days festival in Hitzacker. The cycle in twelve parts is a setting of Romansh texts by Bibi Vaplan, some of which are aphoristic in character. The sound of this wonderful language was something that the composer found particularly attractive. The onomatopoeic aspects of Romansh are especially important in these twelve songs, and time and again they trigger actions in the piano that in turn prompt reactions in the vocal part – this is a process of constant interaction.
