Sievert’s fourth album for PIROUET, is an offshoot of the bassist/composer’s musical vision for the 2014 edition of the yearly Tonspuren Festival at the Irsee Monastery in lower Bavaria.
While researching over 600 years of this former Benedictine Abbey’s history, Sieverts unearthed a Mass composed in 1614 specifically for the Abbey’s festival of St. Benedict.
Sieverts chose two elements from this festive Mass, a cantus firmus, an archaic leitmotif in the Pro Offertoriomovement of the mass, and a hexachord, a symmetric six note scale composed of four whole tones with a half tone dividing the scale between the 3rd and 4th note.
Sieverts incorporated these elements as leitmotifs in his own compositions. Henning emphasizes that “They permeate my Irsee music in every creative form possible.
