Eleventh Liepāja Concerto for Voice and Orchestra

Regarding his Liepāja Concerto, Buravickis says: “This music is based in human emotionality, which can
in turn only be manifested through the nuance of the human voice. But it will not remind the listener of
a long song or an opera scene; instead, it will be a purely lateral message about a person’s thoughts,
feelings, fears and presentiments, which in turn interact with the eternal sound of the universe, or
everything living in this world. Human feelings are short-lived, and so is a person’s life. But the world
lives forever, eternally. One person’s feelings cannot influence the global creation process, but the
world’s processes literally give rise to a person’s feelings; these processes play with them, they play
people.
“My concerto revolves around the understanding of objectivity and subjectivity. The objective sound of
instruments and the fragile, sometimes even vague, human voice. When listening to the composition, all
boundaries between the objective and subjective are erased – the world can also be fragile and vague.
The world is subjective, too, when compared with the Universe. The Universe gives life to everything, but
the Universe does not play with the world or with people. The infinite singing of the Universe inspires
everything to birth and life."
