Confessional is based on the chant sung in Greek Orthodox churches on the eve of Palm Sunday, Ton Nymphona Sou Vlepo (I behold your bridal chamber my Lord, and I wear not the proper vestments to enter). The soloist leads the orchestra away from the stability of the home environment symbolized by the chant and its supporting drone, into an adventure full of unexpected turns. The original language of the chant is constantly translated and modified in increasingly bizarre soundscapes, as the voyaging soloist and the orchestra constantly distance themselves from home. At the same time the chant acts like a compass, an inner voice, always pointing the way back. The voyage itself is full of contradictions; there is transcendence and banality, forward drive and nostalgia, complexity and utter simplicity, usually all within a few measures from each other.
