-------- Cantus (Song of Night) --------
Cantus is the Latin word for "song", - and this piece is a meditation translated into melodious, vocal music. It is meant to motivate one to go within oneself, switch off and let oneself be carried by the music to find a point of peace within oneself that opens a window to the "Me". The spiritual get lost in everyday life - therefore, we should search for it again and again to find our actual centre. The images and thoughts that arise during meditation can be events, landscapes, thoughts about life or even close people.
