Lumière et Pesanteur
Kaija Saariaho arranged the eighth station of her oratorio "La passion de Simone" about the life of Simone Weil as an independent orchestral miniature. "Lumière et pesanteur" plays with light and gravity while trumpet solos meet celestial celesta sounds. Caspar Johannes Walter's "Gekrümmte Räume" explores relativity, higher dimensions, and black holes, questioning if similar phenomena to mathematics and cosmology can exist in music.
