Seven Words is a program about the sacred and the liminal mystery that envelops the passage between the world and the afterlife. 

The Cantus by the Estonian Arvo Pärt, written in 1980 to commemorate the death of his English colleague, has by now become a manifesto of his neo-Renaissance poetics, full of references to the past and an immersive immediacy of listening that always creates new suggestions, thanks to the simplicity of a descending staircase and the distant tolling of a bell.

Seven Words , by the Russian composer Sofija Gubaidulina, is instead a broad meditation on the mystery of the crucifixion. Composed in 1982 in homage to a cantata of the same name from 1645 by Heinrich Schütz (of which fragments are also cited), it stages in an extremely vivid way the "last seven words" of Christ, symbolized by the voice of the cello which from the middle of the work onwards it becomes increasingly ethereal and immaterial, describing the progressive ascent of the soul as death approaches. The bajan dialogues with the cello as a sort of earthly counterpart, while the string orchestra acquires a commentary role, almost like in the chorus of the Greek tragedy, now rising, now sinking depending on the narrated moment.

 

“I composed this ideologically condemnable quartet that no one needs. I told myself that if I were to die one day no one would think of writing a work in my memory. So I decided to write it myself. It could be put on the cover Dedicated to the memory of the author of this quartet ”. With these words in 1960 Dmitry Shostakovich spoke of his Eighth Quartet, immediately after completing the composition. It is a highly concentrated and deeply moving work. The author repeatedly quotes his own compositions, inserting them into a fabric in which the tragic, ineluctable and even sometimes cruel tone leaves little room for rare islands of serenity. The quartet touches hallucinatory, grotesque and sparse atmospheres, in a writing that is nonetheless formally impeccable and manages to fully convey all the tragedy of an existence conducted in fear of running into Stalinist censorship. The famous violent chords that open the fourth movement are in fact a musical transposition of the blows of KGB agents at the door that the composer waited all his life for, aware that he was producing music that was not in line with the dictates of the regime. However, the regime never dared to touch him directly,
