Composer's Note
Once, we had a joint conception to create a concert telling a life story. The premiere was planned to take place on the Acropolis in Athens. It was intended to be a large event, a hybrid of a mysteryplayand an opera. Krzysztof Kieslowski would be the director, Krzysztof Piesiewicz was responsible for the script, and I was planning to compose the music.
We thought it might be the first of a series of musical performances,to bedeveloped in various interesting places around the world in the next few years. But it was life that authored a different ending: Krzysztof Kieslowski died in March of 1996.
The first part of Requiem for My Friend is meantas afarewell to Krzysztof Kieslowski. I dedicate this music to him. Zbigniew Preisner
