About

On ars moriendi Paul Giger looks at life's flowing patterns, at death and renewal, as he brings together compositions by Bach and new music drawing inspiration from the work of painter Giovanni Segantini and Swiss folk traditions.

The album was recorded in Maloja, where Segantini spent the last years of his life.

"Becoming - Being - Passing" - this is the name of the tryptichon by the Tyrolean painter Giovanni Segantini, which served violinist and composer Paul Giger as an important source of inspiration for the music on ars moriendi.

The theme of transience runs through this programme like a thread and combines Bach compositions with original pieces and music influenced by traditional Swiss folk in equal parts.

Much of the programme was written in connection with the film about the painter, Giovanni Segantini - Magie des Lichts, and was recorded in the Chiesa Bianca, Maloja, in the Swiss canton of Graubnden.

On the album, Giger is joined by Marie-Louise Dhler on harpsichord, Pudi Lehmann on gongs and percussion, and alto Franz Vizthum as well as the Carmina Quartett to form a chamber ensemble.

Paul Giger: violin, violino d'amore

Marie-Louise Dhler: harpsichord, positive organ

Pudi Lehmann: gongs, singing bowls, frame drum, conch shell

Franz Vitzthum: countertenor

Jrg Surber: double bass

Matthias Enderle, Susanne Frank: violin

Wendy Champney: viola

Stephan Goerner: cello
