Media Vita, the title of this album, takes up that of the piece for mixed choir that I wrote in 2010 at the request of the dancer and choreographer Julien Lestel for his ballet Body and Souls. Another piece from the ballet, De profundis, is also included in the CD. The theme of this ballet in twelve paintings was based on the dyad of body and soul, and Julien Lestel’s choreography to my music alternated delicate aerial gestures and powerful Chthonic movements.
