Catharsis

Piano meditations about humility

A series of 12 piano pieces draws the listener into silence. Dazzling virtuosity becomes gradually more peaceful, more humble: a purification (“catharsis”) of mind and soul. Based on a chapter of the Rule for Monks by Saint Benedict. Interlocked with meditations proclamed by the composer.
