    FEELING OF CREATION (1994/95)
    a cantata for narrator, chorus, viola, percussion and piano
    central movement , on Omar KhayyamŒs poem RUBAIYAT


    A drop of water - no in the river,
    a grain of sand - no back to earth,
    what is it? Your coming into this world?
    A fly, appears and disappears....


    Do not hurt your friend
    Do not burn him with your ire.....


    I cried, because my days have gone to naught....


    Like a tear on a burnt heart
    We squandere our lives and were buried.
