Lithuanian culture still has strong ties to its pagan roots. The text for
Incantatio is based on a traditional curse against snake bites. This type of verse was pronounced backwards which provides an interesting structure, a fine challenge for a composer to rebuild its original meaning.
Commissioned by festival Musica Sacra Maastricht.
For Irene Kurka.
