Description
The piece is musically based on the "Solresol" language. This planned language was developed at the beginning of the 19th century by the Frenchman Jean François Sudre: a kind of Esperanto on a musical basis. It's a thought that has long preoccupied Anna Skryleva: If music is indeed capable of bringing people of all nationalities together, it should be possible to use sounds to converse and unite people. So she became aware of "Solresol" and decided to compose a piece of music based on it. First of all, a "mirror poem" was created, which is the basis for the development of the themes and their counterpoints in "Mirror". In the middle of the work, this poem is sung in English by a soprano with orchestral accompaniment. Every note in this work carries with it a message that can only be deciphered with the "key" of Solresol. As a principle of composition, Schoenberg's twelve-tone theory could be considered a parallel. Whereby here it is the words that determine the sequence of tones: an exciting puzzle.
