A dream of a composer. Confused, yet not unorganized, as it is, after all – a dream of a composer. Nightmare, partially - the witch is terrifying but has nice.............(fill in according to your own preferences.) She reads composer’s thoughts and turns them into music, putting them together according to the simple domino game principle: in „time bones“, each divided in two fields, she puts music situations, and connects the bones in the way that the open field of one bone is similar to the subsequent field of the following bone. The composer can´t influence the development of the dream, and the instruments/sounds are excluded from the principle only when the witch decides to speak through them herself. The piece was originally written for somewhat different ensemble Splithesis in March 2008, and newly arranged specially for Cantus ensemble.
