“This piece is a morning tune [Morgenlied], for which I have set an excerpt from The Lord Chandos Letter by Hugo von Hofmannsthal. I imagine the melodic vocal line alongside the resonant piano timbre to reflect the poet’s indescribable feelings for the magic of reality and his fascination with the inability of language to define the essence of things. I could not resist forging a connection between the description of von Hofmannsthal’s experience of infinity and the dream journey of a shaman.” –Thierry Pécou.
