  „Vasilisa came through the forest carrying the skull, with the blazing from its ear, eye, nose, and mouth holes. Vasilisa now carries the blaze of knowing; she has those fierce senses.

  Blow Your House Down
  We build walls to protect ourselves from the outside world, from getting hurt. There is so much around us that hurts too much to care – forests are destroyed, our culture and education are becoming increasingly superficial and alienated from reality, life (forms) are vanishing from among us. All this is also tearing at our internal landscape so that we often have no more strength to care. Thus, this house inside us gradually becomes air and sound tight fortress. I feel that it is important to face reality, no matter how terrifying it is, being the wolf who blows the house down and, at the same time, the piglet who becomes vulnerable.
  
  Tatjana Kozlova-Johannes
  
  Walls
  
  Without consideration, without
  pity, without shame
  they have built great and high
  walls around me.
  
  And now I sit here and
  despair.
  I think of nothing else: this
  fate gnaws at my mind;
  
  for I had many things to do
  outside.
  Ah why did I not pay attention
  when they were building the walls.
  
  But I never heard any noise or
  sound of builders.
  Imperceptibly they shut me
  from the outside world.

WORKS FOR ENSEMBLE

• A place unfound

  Tatjana Kozlova-Johannes: „Sometimes we want to return to a place but discover that it no longer exists. Instead, it has been turned into a shopping mall or the old building has been demolished altogether, and the only things that remind us of it are a couple of apple trees. Sometimes the place we are looking for is not outside but inside us. In this piece this place was lightness.“

  In writing this work, I felt like a painter. The range of timbres of both instruments is exceedingly rich and provides a way of creating very many interesting colour combinations, forming different structures.
  I tried to avoid the traditional treatment of flute and Estonian zither, where the flute is usually a solo instrument and the zither provides the accompaniment. In my work they are equal partners, almost like two people trying to speak the same language. Some motifs pass through certain passages of the work, disappear, are replaced by new ones. They are like periods in the life of a person, which change imperceptibly to us and transform us just as imperceptibly.

  To Sing a Song Before the Night Comes
  
  Darkness is gathering, we sense it. We know – our lives cannot continue like this, but we are powerless before this situation. We want to flee from this knowledge so as not to witness the terrible pain, not to become vulnerable. We are looking for something light and beautiful to grab divert our attention and create an illusion that everything is in order, and feel a moment of peace. We push away anything that reflects the severity of what is going on. Is there still time to sing a song before our descent into darkness. Would it echo in darkness or would someone want to hear it?

• Black and White [Must ja Valge]

  Black and White consist of two movements (that can be played together or separately). The main idea derives from contemplation over concepts associated with number two. This number is primarily associated with duality, partnership, opposites, yin and yang, night and day. Black and white seemed to be a suitable pair of terms that refer to all the mentioned keywords. Black and white are achromatic or “colorless” colors, they have no hue. Black results from the absence or complete absorption of visible light, it retains heat, symbolizes darkness, despair, sometimes anger. Black is often associated with death, but in reality, unlike white, it is a life-affirming color – black mourning clothes are worn by survivors. White reflects all waves of light equally, it does not absorb any color in the spectrum, reflecting light back into the world. White combines all the colors visible to the human eye, but it is uniquely unstable, elusive, boundless and diffuse. Together, black and white symbolize eternal struggle.
  
  Tatjana Kozlova-Johannes
  (from the festival Ostrava Days 2021 booklet)

  It is strongly recommended to perform both parts together as one piece, possible to play separately, if necessary.

  Corners
   
  In the 18 years of my collaboration with Ensemble U:, I have got to know its members quite well. Since I found out that four of them either play or have played the electric guitar as a hobby, it has been my dream to enrich the ensemble’s sound by using this instrument in one of my compositions. Finally, this dream has come true, and in Corners the standard instruments (flute, clarinet, violin, cello, percussions, piano) are complemented by two electric guitars and a lap steel guitar, with their parts being performed by the cellist, percussionist and pianist, respectively. The atmosphere of the piece and the mindset required to listen to it can be succinctly described in a single sentence: ‘And there is new darkness behind every corner...’

• Prelude for Brooms. The Great Clean-Up [Prelüüd luudadele. Suurpuhastus]

  Prelude for Brooms
  
  People usually undertake a large-scale clean-up twice a year – in the spring and in the autmn. But it may vary depending on how much certain spaces are used and how often they are cleaned on a regular basis. A big clean-up once in a while is needed both inside and outside. To do a good job, one needs special skills. Our team, put together especially for this clean-up, uses professional techniques and tools that guarantee the absolute inner cleanness.
  The Great Clean-Up celebrates the official Clean-Up Month held for the 25th time in Tallinn City.

  The work can conceptually be divided into three sections. In the beginning, the person looks through a prism and sees something blurry behind it. In the next section, the person starts analyzing it and forming associations, trying to understand what it could be. In the final section, he understands that the blurry thing was just a flower for instance.

  “I Will Cross This Road” is my second piece to a text by Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish and kind of a continuation to last year’s piece “To My End and to Its End...”. I am attached to Darwish’s poetry because of its eternal matters, beauty and depth. Although both of these poems relate to a journey and longing, reading them creates a very static and spacious atmosphere, full of silence and peaceful dusk.

  Text: Mahmoud Darwish (in English)

  I will cross this long road,
  this long, long, long road to its end
  To the heart’s end,
  I will cross this long, long, long road...
  For I have nothing left to lose
  except the dust and what of me has died.
  The line of palms
  Points the way to the absent.
  I will cross the line of palms.
  Does a wound need a poet
  To draw a pomegranate for absence?
  I’ll build for you above the roof of neighing
  Thirty windows for metaphor.
  Get out of this migration,
  then, that you may
  go into another migration.
  There is nowhere to go,
  or maybe there is.
  We will cross this long road
  To the end of the bow.
  Let our steps vibrate like arrows then.
  Were we here a short while ago?
  And will we in a short while
  reach the arrow of the beginning?

• The Beauty of Decay [Lagunemise ilu]

  Autumn can be taken as the metaphor for our time. We are living with the feeling that the world around us is slipping away, transforming and falling into ruins. Whether go with or against the flow of constant change we still perceive that the flow keeps going and we are unable to preserve anything. And yet, there is something very beautiful in this feeling of loss. Just like when seeing a wall with peeling old paint or a deserted farmhouse that arises an unexpected feeling of lightness and liberation – for those whom the wall and the house were once important have been long gone together with their affection, and no one is yearning for the old times. And instead of pain there will be light in this death.

  Tatjana Kozlova-Johannes: “The cycle of Fountains is based on the poem of the same title by Estonian poet Ilmar Laaban (1921–2000). Altogether, I have created three works with the same text and melody. The first of them, Fountain 1 (2007), is written for the vocal ensemble Neue Vocalsolisten Stuttgart. The second version of the piece is called Water Shards (2008), composed for voice, flute and violin. The third version, Fountain 2 (2011) is composed for voice and three percussionists. In today’s concert, the piece is adapted for voice and two percussionists.”

  Sätendab helkiden hõljusklev langus veenirede
  avat siilest marmorvaagna mustavöödilise,
  kummarduden vaagnan alumisen lainelise
  vee poole, naeraten ootava hõbeste nirede.
  
  Unisten laiuvad niitideist ringid hõbedased,
  laiuvad ja tahtmatult kui puudutaksid seinu
  kirkalt helendavaid, meenutaden kõrkjaheinu,
  uhuvad vöötide punaste marmorseid vahesid.
  
  Peegeldub vahedel ringide taevas azuursena
  helendav, kaet pilvedega hõbedaselt ujuvate.
  Heidab oma varjud parvgi pääsukeste rändavate…
  Hävitab veetleva pildi iil hetkelik jõhkrana.

  The work was inspired by a Jaan Kaplinski’s poem and I used the text, too, to some extent. As the content of the poem is very intimate, I could not allow the listener understand the text in full. The words are stretched out, deformed. Only a few key phrases or sentences reach the listener.

  Silence is always intriguing.
  In my childhood, my grandmother enjoined me to listen to the silence if she wanted me to fall asleep, but instead I kept on listening to a passing car, the refrigerator humming in the other room. I liked going deeper and deeper into the woods and noticing how the sounds of traffic gradually got further, to be replaced by the sounds of the wind and the trees, how the sound’s values changed. I tried to catch the silence, but it does not in fact even exist.

  ТИШИНА
  Роберт Рождественский (1932–1994) В траве – тишина,
  в камыше – тишина,
  в лесу – тишина.
  Так тихо, 
  что стыдно глаза распахнуть
               и на землю ступить.
  Так тихо,
  что страшно. Так тихо,
  что слово любое сказать –
  все равно что убить.
  Mир заболел тишиной. Так тихо,
  как будто все птицы
  покинули землю,
  одна за одной.
  Как будто все люди
  оставили землю
  один за другим.
  Как будто земля превратилась
  в беззвучный
  музей тишины. Так тихо,
  что музыку надо, как чье-то лицо,
  вспоминать,
  Так тихо,
  что даже тишайшие мысли
  далёко
  слышны.
  Так тихо,
  что хочется заново
  жизнь
  начинать.
  Так тихо...

  To My End and to Its End...
  
  – Are you tired of walking
  my son, are you getting tired?
  – Yes, father
  Your night has grown long on the road
  and your heart has flowed over your night's earth
  – You're still as lithe as a cat
  so climb up on my shoulders
  In a little while we'll cross
  the forest of terebinth and oak
  The sky is ours, all of it
  – And then what?
  – We'll return to the house
  Do you know the way, my son?
  – Yes, father:
  East of the carob tree on the main street there’s
  a small path crowded by cactus
  at its opening. Then it leads, wider and wider,
  to the well
  Then it gets lost on a threshing floor before
  it straightens out and settles in at home
  – Do you know our home, my son?
  – I know it like I know the path:
  Jasmine winds around an iron gate
  Footprints of light on the stone stairs
  Sunflowers stare at what lies behind the place
  In the yard there’s a well and a willow tree
  Behind the fence, a tomorrow, thumbing through our papers...
  – Oh father, are you getting tired?
  Do I see sweat in your eyes?
  – My son, I am tired... Can you carry me?
  – Like you used to carry me, father
  I'll carry this longing
  for
  my beginning
  and its beginning
  I'll follow this road to
  my end... and to its end!

  Aria
  
  On my way to a residency lecture of the Estonian Association of Electronic Music, I imagined that a person so ignorant in technology as me couldn’t possibly write anything for such a lineup and I even was not sure if I would understand anything at the lecture. Sitting there, I found myself thinking about how I could compose something for them while remaining true to myself and without learning vast amounts of technological information. Quite soon I understood that in order to do that I should simply let go (largely but not entirely) of the parameter of sound colour. As if I was writing for an ensemble where I know the number of instrumentalists but not which instruments they play. And at the same time, all pitches are possible. This seemed intriguing, because sound colour is the very parameter I most often base my music on. I chose melody as the key structuring element of my composition – this also seemed interesting, as it rarely has a key role in electroacoustic music. The title Aria refers to a conservative approach in the composition of the piece, the importance of melody, the differentiation between the solo and the accompaniment, and an expressive approach to phrase development.
