Notes

Programme notes

The composition, written in 2004, was inspired by the poetry of Julian Przyboś. The Tool from Light is a piece in which a key role is given to a novel construction of sound colours.
Przyboś's works are of special importance here, as the choice of instruments, formal and coloristic design are directly related to his poems.

In 2004, The Tool from Light won
the 2 prize (1st was not granted) in the 46 th Tadeusz Baird Competition.
