Description
rw? 1 by Mark Andre is a contemporary work for Ensemble and Electronics which is part of a four-part cycle. The word rw? (pronounced r�ach) comes from Aramaic and covers a whole field of words: wind, breath, soul, spirit. In the Bible it stands for ‘Holy Spirit’. In his cycle, the French composer and sound researcher Mark Andre makes this ‘holy’ breath concretely and existentially tangible. rw? 1 was commissioned by SWR and Ensemble Resonanz for the Donaueschinger Musiktage 2019 where it was first performed on 19 October 2019 by Ensemble Resonanz. The complete cycle was first performed on 15 May 2022 at the KunstFestSpiele Herrenhausen, Hannover by more than 200 singers and Ensemble Modern, conducted by Ingo Metzmacher.
