Logos III is part of a music cycle, which establishes a connection to the human voice as the most exalted possibility of expressing a sound – a sound charged with vital energy, mirroring an innermost world; the human effort of expressing himself. It is not always the meaning of the words which is essential, but the mysterious, arcane and poetic power of their resonance.
There is a covert link between the composition and the opening choral movement of J.S. Bach's "Johannes Passion BWV 245".
A cross can be made of wood, iron, or marble,
but its reality is not the wood or iron or marble
which fills its form, but what arises
as form where there is no more matter.
