Death, around which the main theme revolves, is not presented as the evil awaiting the man at the end of his life. It is only a symbolic transition to another, new world. The metaopera<em>\u00a0De invitatione mortis<\/em>\u00a0aims to show a different approach to the genre of opera by combining different stylistic and technical influences. It is a kind of a ?desktop? opera, devoid of stage action: It adopts the form of a mystery play, in many aspects of an ascetic music drama, in which the voice acts as the communicator of the libretto?s content and its message. The mystery play character of<em>\u00a0De invitatione mortis\u00a0<\/em>concerns primarily the creation of a sound environment whose centre is occupied by the word, leading the course of the entire metaopera, which can be perceived as a ritual. One can say that\u00a0<em>De invitatione mortis\u00a0<\/em>is a mystery play in which the sound and word, dominating the whole structure, create a new, alien world based on synesthetic and abstract references.\u00a0<em>De invitatione mortis\u00a0<\/em>is also an attempt to address the issue of merging various genres from the borderline of classical, improvised, and electronic music.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1040&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1677588083158{padding-right: 5% !important;padding-left: 5% !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1039&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">W\u00a0<em>De invitatione mortis\u00a0<\/em>mamy do czynienia z tekstem, kt\u00f3ry zwi\u0105zany jest z przekazem warto\u015bci i filozofi\u0105 religii chrze\u015bcija\u0144skiej. \u015amier\u0107, wok\u00f3\u0142 kt\u00f3rej obraca si\u0119 g\u0142\u00f3wny w\u0105tek, nie jest przedstawiona jako z\u0142o, kt\u00f3re czeka na cz\u0142owieka u kresu jego \u017cycia.

The form of the opera, based on three acts-movements, within which there are three songs-images presented by three individual protagonists, reflects the layout of the text directly in its shape. Necessary to create an integrated opera performance, the relationship between the music and text determines the arrangement of such a form, referring to the tradition of the ancient theatre: A tripartite construction, unity of action, time, and place, fate, three singers-actors confronted with an instrumental octet, and a chamber male vocal ensemble. One of the roles of the actors-singers is also responsible for the function of the leader of the chorus, i.e. coryphaeus.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1035&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1677588101705{padding-right: 5% !important;padding-left: 5% !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1030&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">Charakteryzuj\u0105ce si\u0119 rozbudowan\u0105 symbolik\u0105 oraz ekspresj\u0105 libretto to poetycki tryptyk napisany przez Macieja Papierskiego na specjalne potrzeby utworu.

The need to create sounds contributing to dark colours, also in its literal meaning, plays an essential role. One can call this need to use a specific, subdued colour ?the aesthetics of the night,? which refers both to the relationship between pitch and colour and the desire to create one?s own sound and colour world, i.e. the aura and atmosphere generated by the musical layer itself. Synesthesia plays an important role in a number of my works ? it is significant both in\u00a0<em>De invitatione mortis<\/em>\u00a0and in the previous one-act opera\u00a0<em>Kepler<\/em>, where each of the three scenes was based on a different colour theme.\u00a0<em>De invitatione mortis\u00a0<\/em>uses a colour that is largely inspired by text.

However, the metaopera does not directly take over the features contained in the rhythm and metrical division dominant in the mentioned trends. It is important to indicate their characteristic, subdued sound, the fact of operating with saturated, yet uniform sound layers (or clouds, also called textures), which continually create constant or changeable melodic-harmonic structures as a result of the inspiration. Therefore, the main goal is the integration of sound colour, harmony, and melody as one harmonising factor influencing the form and sound of the composition.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1033&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1677588147680{padding-right: 5% !important;padding-left: 5% !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1034&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">Inspiracje brzmieniowe w\u00a0<em>De invitatione mortis\u00a0<\/em>le\u017c\u0105 zar\u00f3wno w nurtach muzyki wsp\u00f3\u0142czesnej, jak i improwizowanej, ukierunkowuje skojarzenia w stron\u0119\u00a0<em>minimal music<\/em>,\u00a0<em>ambientu<\/em>, czy nowoczesnego jazzu.

In\u00a0<em>De invitatione mortis,\u00a0<\/em>the figure of Euthanatos is a\u00a0<em>sui generis<\/em>\u00a0symbol of a world to which every human being is heading, or at least he mediates between it and the human one. The role of The Physician, who is the most &#8220;earthly&#8221; figure, is in the human, literal world, but, due to his profession, he is in contact with the place to which The Ill One is heading. The Physician is an objective witness of the intermingling worlds and the coming fate. Deceptively, he is not able to influence where the human life is heading \u2013 he has only the power to slightly delay the time the fate arrives. In the last act, the listener is a witness to how The Physician is reconciled to the fact that the human life is only a small part of a great plan and there is no possibility of human interference in the fate and time dimension. The last bars of\u00a0<em>De invitatione mortis\u00a0<\/em>are a kind of acceptance of the death?s invitation and surrendering to it. The end does not mean darkness and murk at all; its presence signals the beginning of a new existence of the soul.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1053&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1677588160829{padding-right: 5% !important;padding-left: 5% !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1029&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">G\u0142\u00f3wn\u0105 ide\u0105 w scenach nale\u017c\u0105cych do Chorej by\u0142o skonfrontowanie \u017cycia ludzkiego egzystuj\u0105cego w ?naszym \u015bwiecie? z aspektem mistyczno\u015bci \u017cycia pozagrobowego, kt\u00f3rego cz\u0142owiek nie jest w stanie poj\u0105\u0107.

The individual parts of The Ill One, Euthanatos, or The Physician can be interpreted in an ambiguous way: On the one hand as a personal manifestation of a lonely person, her cry and desire to free herself from the inevitable fate, and on the other hand as an attempt to intellectually touch the eschata.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1038&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1677588173840{padding-right: 5% !important;padding-left: 5% !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1037&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><em>De invitatione mortis<\/em>\u00a0jest subiektywnym spojrzeniem i pr\u00f3b\u0105 ujarzmienia niewyt\u0142umaczalnych rzeczy i zjawisk, takich jak \u015bmier\u0107, przemijanie czy los.
