Description

Veronika Eberle gave birth to a baby last November. I composed the piece as a present for her and her baby. In the concerto, the soloist represents a human being, while the orchestra is imagined as nature and the universe surrounding him. At the beginning, the orchestra repeats wave motions suggestive of amniotic fluid, then the melodic line of the violin solo (= life) is generated from the inside of ‘cradle’, and is developing while imitating melodies inside the orchestra, then becomes Independent of it, conflicts with it, however, finally finds a harmony inside the orchestra and dissolves into it. Toshio Hosokawa
