A wandering sage long ago said to his student:

“Try to enter the inner recess of your heart — there you will see heaven’s very sanctuary.
Both are reached through the same doorway.
It lies within yourself; it secretly exists within your soul.”

And it is true: our whole life is nothing but an attempt to find this wondrous entrance.
All our actions are nothing but a humble knocking on this hidden door.
Our only hope is that perhaps a time will come when, in answer to our knock,
we will hear a voice that says: COME IN!

For it is written: “Knock, and it shall be opened to you.”

AUTUMN BALL OF THE ELVES

The score of Autumn Ball of the Elves is not so much a text as an intertext,
containing overt and concealed references to Tchaikovsky, Mendelssohn, Vivaldi, and Bach,
as seen through the prism of minimalist structure.

It is a nostalgic reminiscence of the rustling, magic, mischief, and dreams of a summer night.
The elves, sporting carelessly in Mendelssohn’s work, arrange a farewell ball
before finally flying away and melting into the nonexistence of winter.

It is a final farewell to the lofty and romantic elements of Western European culture
on the threshold of the advancing emptiness of all-embracing cosmic cold.

“Come In!” performed by the OPUS POSTH Ensemble and guests.
