Description
The approx. 18-minute symphonic work musically represents an imaginary journey through a supernova (exploding star). In the word "0rigo" with the actual meaning origin, the letter g was replaced by the Arabic number 9, which with its infinite wealth of symbolic meanings has an important structure-forming role in the entire work.
It consists of 270 bars and is divided into 9 blocks, which in turn are divided by 3.
Light (Supernova) is presented in three aspects:
- blocks 1st-3rd: The emerging light source (blue).
- blocks 4-6: Supernova, as a hellish fireball (white).
- blocks 7th-9th: The dying light source (red).
The orchestra is divided into 9 groups.
Flutes in 2/8
Oboes, bassoons in 4/8
Clarinets in 5/8
Horns in 6/8
Trumpets in 3/8
Trombones and tuba in 8/8
Percussion instruments in 12/8
Solo strings in 9/8
String orchestra in 10/8
The score is written in 12/8, the individual instruments pulsate or form their motifs according to the indicated time signatures. The different time signatures represent the different wavelengths or colours of light.
The piece is to be supported with light design. For the exact performance time, a continuous change of light mood from blue to green to yellow then to orange to red is programmed. For the beginning and the end of the play, when the stage is less illuminated, desk lights are used.
