Catharsis : for piano / br Kris Oelbrandt ocso
Description:
This cycle of twelve pieces for piano is based on the twelve “degrees of humility”, appearing in chaptre VII of the Rule of Saint Benedict.
This Rule is the basis and the guide for the life of benedictine, trappist and cistercian monks.
The seventh chaptre of this Rule describes how the monk can grow in true dignity through twelve "degrees".
Because of the structure of the cycle, it may only be performed in its entirety.
