Hi Susan,
I composed some pieces a few years ago for a multi-media project called 'Heloise', based on the lives and writings of Abelard and Heloise. Since Abelard was a composer as well as a theologian, I have taken fragments of his plainchants for the some of the material, as well as using the sounds of Bretton instruments, the bombarde and binou, as a leit-motif to reflect his Bretton routes.
In one of the pieces ('Augustine's Message'), St Augustine visits Abelard in a dream. The passages of text in this section are derived from quotes from the bible, mainly St Paul's writings to the Corinthians.
The pieces have been performed as an electroacoustic song-cycle called 'Heloise'. They are:
'Love's Beginings' (Soprano, Baritone, Live Electronics, 8 channel fixed-media)
'Need Without Reason' (8 channel fixed-media)
'Augustine's Message' (8 channel fixed-media)
'Need Without Reason' is actually on the 'DISContact! III' CD published by PeP and CEC. It features recordings of a female chorus.
The libretto is by Tania ap Siôn.
Best wishes,
Rob

Subject: looking for Electroacoustic Music on 'Sacred/religious/spiritual' themes
Hi all,
looking for electroacoustic music on 'sacred/religious/spiritual'
themes. I'm sure somebody is going to ask me what I mean by those
terms...............................
But in the meantime, if you've got anything deliberately composed on
these themes, let me know...........
thanks very much,
agape, susan
