The Genealogy of the “Being” Pieces
Being
On a poem by Georges Bataille called “God” in which Bataille states that “if God knew he was God he would cease to be God. Therefore God is a-theist, profoundly so.” For SATB mixed chorus, a capella. (Los Angeles, CA. 2004).
Being Mirror
The Bataille text is hidden with only a few fragments left due to the general impossibleness of choral ensembles worldwide. For men’s chorus and chamber ensemble. (Palo Alto, CA. 2014).
Prayer
As the third movement of the cello symphony The Art of Imaginal Listening. Bataille’s text is renounced, the chorus reduced to syllables. For women’s chorus and orchestra. (Clarence Center, N.Y. 2014).
Lost Prayer
Since the text cannot be revealed, the Prayer is lost. The choral element is renounced completely. For string orchestra or string quintet. (Clarence Center, N.Y. 2016).
