About
In Milica Djordjević's short orchestral work Mali svitac, žestoko ozaren i prestravljen nesnošljivom lepotom (Little firefly, brightly lit and shocked by unbearable beauty), commissioned by the Berlin Philharmonic in 2023, the composer is concerned with "the immense energy it takes to make things glow". Her extended orchestral work Quicksilver was commissioned by musica viva of Bayerischer Rundfunk and premiered on 16 December 2016 by the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by Peter Rundel in the Herkulessaal of the Munich Residenz. It is precisely the strict limitation of the melodic movement to very few, narrow interval steps that makes it "all the richer and more colourful on the inside". Čvor (Knot) for winds, piano and percussion, a work commissioned for the Donaueschingen Music Festival, briefly but very intensively describes a knot that squeezes and twists and finally bursts. The fourth work on this BR-KLASSIK CD - Mit o ptici (Myth of the Bird) for choir and orchestra - was commissioned by musica viva in 2020 and premiered on 28 October 2022 with the Bavarian Radio Chorus and Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Johannes Kalitzke. The four parts of Djordjević's first choral work are based on motifs from a 1979 verse epic by the Yugoslav poet Miroslav Antić (1932-1986). The narrative and dialogues are sung in alternating voices, sometimes separately, and intermingled in the third part. The music is the main carrier of the plot, conveying what is to be said without the need to understand the text.
