ARCANO XIII

for 8 double basses
2011

Tear it down,
burn it down
To start over
from the ashes
Like a tree

The thirteenth sheet of the Tarot stands between the invisible and the visible world. The intermediate point. It represents the death of the old, the end of a cycle and the transition to the new. It means a change. It is halfway between the letters of fortune and destruction.

Premiered by the double basses from Colon Theatre Symphony Orchestra
