Description

White Wind Waiting is a piece about waiting. Waiting: time is hovering – there is an expectation and also memory but nothing is actually happening right at the present moment. A lacuna in time when one looks around, noticing the dust – grains slowly floating in the last ray of sun still lingering through the window...

The piece peels away layer after layer of this notion – in a progression of expectation and memory. But is someone waiting at all? Is someone there at all or is everything and everyone gone already and only the sun ray still lingers through the window, in place which has been long abandoned, deserted, forgotten...
The orchestra is divided into several groups, with the guitar closely associated with the duo of piano and harp, and the first violin. The piece is dedicated to Stephan Schmidt and to Mark Sattler with deep gratitude. Chaya Czernowin
