partly based on the chorale Schmücke dich, o liebe Seele
Adornia is a word invented by the composer with a similar meaning as ‘to adorn’, which means 'to embellish'. The thematic cornerstones are DORN, after the commissioning band CMV Juliana in Doornspijk, Netherlands. It also contains the chorale ‘Schmücke dich, du liebe Seele’ used several times in different variations. Adornia contains beautiful melodies, broad dynamic passages and has a spectacular conclusion.
