Description

In this deeply personal and philosophical work, Alexander Comitas explores the profound theme of eternal life and the continuity of the soul through a composition commissioned to commemorate a young musician. Based on a lyrical theme from the composer’s earlier work, Vita Aeterna, the piece unfolds through six distinct variations—ranging from “Full of vital energy” to “Despair” and “Redemption”—before culminating in a boisterous and triumphant “Fugue and Apotheosis.” The Vita Aeterna Variations challenge the ensemble with intricate textures and emotional depth, requiring both sensitivity and technical virtuosity. It is a powerful choice for a serious concert program or contest setting, offering a narrative of hope and the beauty of life that is sure to leave a lasting impression on the audience.
