Äiu, äiu
for ensemble, 8', 2022

I try to remember a time when the deep forests were still in their ancient harmony. The plain, however, feels close, the little snake is restless. Perhaps a lullaby will lull it to sleep and people will begin to understand its speech again.

Inspired by two Nordic novels and a traditional Estonian lullaby.
