Abstract

The whole composition is built on an audio recording: Dr. Heinzgerd Brakmann’s talk about Grigol Peradze’s life, work and death. All the pitch material is derived from a „spectral trancription“ of this soundfi le and the entire time-fl ow is also determined by the narration of his arrest and execution. The emotional stop and pause during Dr. Brakmann’s speech, with suppressed tears of sorrow, is implied in the piece with a bell chime. Towards the end, a folk song, recorded in Bakurtsikhe, Father Grigol’s birthplace in Kakheti, a region of Georgia, underlies scattered words and fragments of St. Grigol Peradze’s kontakion.
