08 Jun 2020: The choir work QUIN TU URE is based on a text by Giordano Bruno, from "De Triplici minimo et mensura”,1591. The Latin text reads: “[...] Et natura parens effert super omnia? Quin tu Ure fatigatum pectus, mea vita, precabor
Amplius ure tuae, neu in me parce pharetrae;
Unum me faciant tua milleque vulnera vulnus. Nempe ita me in lumen cernam convertier unum, Unus eroque oculus totum, circum omnia cernens, Simpliceque obtutu praesens, lapsum atque futurum. Aspiciamque simul supera, infera et omnia circum.” In English: "[...] And does nature obediently lift everything up? I will pray to you, glow in your chest, my life
glow more violently and don't spare your quiver against me. Let a thousand wounds from you make me one wound, after all, so I will see that I change into one light
and I will be completely one eye around everything distinctive
and with one glance I will contemplate the present, the past and future, at the same time everything above and below and all around."

14 Jun 2017: The choir work QUIN TU URE is number 8 of the cycle PRAŚASTI, based on a text (from 1591, from "De Triplici minimo et mensura”) by Giordano Bruno. ( There is also a quirky instrumental version of QUIN TU URE. ) Translation: Well you glow-filled intestine, my life, I will pray/ Glow heavier and do not spare your arrow boiler/ Let a thousand wounds make you one wound/ After all, I'll see that I change into one light/ And I will be completely eye-catching about everything distinctive/ And at one glance I will see present past and future at the same time
At the same time, look at everything above and below
