Rilke's Book of Hours

I find you there in all these things I care for like a brother.

First follow this private account on TIKTOK to listen to SEED VIDEO: Book of Hours on Tiktok.

This piece is part of a series of original vocal and movement settings to Rilke's "Book of Hours: Love Poems to God" Translated by Anita Barrows and Joanna Macy.
The music and movement pathways below map out ways to activate these devotional poems into communal rituals.
This particular iteration is a digital ritual involving camera choreography.
These are "path" compositions or games where each participant can create their journey through the piece.
