Mauro Lanza & Andrea Valle: systema nature - Roullier, Pierre; Miollis, Ferdinand; Tal, Andreas von; Albert, Giacomo; Kroke, Antonella Kroke; Szanto, Mickaël (Champigny-sur-Marne Ensemble 2e2m, 2016)
In 2013, the composers Mauro Lanza and Andrea Valle began their collaboration on the four-part composition cycle SYSTEMA NATURAE, consisting of the compositions Regnum animale (2013), Regnum vegetabile (2014), Regnum lapideum (2016), and Fossilia (2016/17). On June 19, 2017, at 6 p.m. and at 9 p.m., the entire cycle will have its premiere in a performance by the Ensemble Mosaik at the Berlin Natural History Museum. Every part of the cycle takes as its subject a branch of nature or natural science. Here, the two composers refer to the medieval cataloging of research objects on the one hand and to the classification scheme of Carl von Linnés Systema Naturae on the other hand.
