De libertate humana
secundum Benedictum de Spinoza:
Ethica ordine geometrico demonstrata – pars V
The piece is scored for three technically and historically different
sound formations: ancient music ensemble, contemporary music ensemble and symphony
orchestra, together with two mixed choirs.
Each part of “De libertate…”stands for another level of human inner
consciousness. The first part, already written, moves our thinking towards understanding
that non-aligned, non-conscious and passive emotions are the main obstacle in achieving a
real freedom. The second movement will bring a method of releasing positive, conscious and
active emotions towards a non–personal deity allowing a mind’s liberation. The third
part is a final consideration about the eternity of active mind that lacks any passiveness
and recognises things in themselves. Each movement as well as each ensemble must undergo a
process of self–recognition towards clarity of differences, alien to initial similarity
and imitation.
