Mārtiņš Viļums commented: “The musical idea relates to the extinguished light of life, which is lit again in varied sound timbres and spectrum layers. The highlighted Gregorian chant melos in the work, as well as psalmodic declamation elements, are woven into the beginning sections and then gradually dissipate in the harmonic current. In this way, the compositional resolution relates to the concept and content of the idea, in other words, the requiem Lux aeterna and Libera me texts are used to project an individual consciousness, which slowly melts into another – the dimension of the afterlife. In this different space the existing content and text are reflected to us from the other side (the Latin text fragments are heard in inverse).”
