Notes on this piece
At the centre of Malachi’s text, stands an enigmatic entity of the same name (“Malachi” also means “my angel” in Hebrew). At times, he is a lover; at others, a prophet or a god. The ambiguity, or “betweenness” regarding Malachi’s identity in Livnat’s poem is also a main theme in the musical piece, which explores the notion of betweenness in terms of form, orchestration, and energetic motion. An important source of musical material in Malachi was the poet’s own voice. While not actually heard in the piece, Livnat’s voice was recorded and then analysed. The recorded voice’s harmonic content was translated to pitches, which finally serve as the entire piece’s harmonic infrastructure. Thus, a relationship is maintained between “the poet’s voice”—both his metaphorical and actual ones—and the composer’s interpretation of the poet’s work.
