The composer writes...

When Piero Borodin asked me to write a choral composition for the 1700th anniversary of the Edict of Nikomedia, I was honored, intrigued and daunted. The commemoration at Carnuntum offered the chance for instruments and choir to sound among the archaeological ruins. The themes of religious tolerance and historical examination suggested auspicious possibilities for mood and text. Yet these big subjects also posed questions: could I say something timeless and timely; universal and particular; and could I fashion music to engage listeners from diverse spiritual traditions?

Whatever the shortcomings of this composition, I hope that people from any faith tradition may find in it a basis for deeper reflection and a sincere encouragement of religious tolerance.

Christopher J. Hoh, Vienna, March 2011
