Original tekst

Homunculus is a short. circa 12 minutes. work for string quartet, which the composer wrote during the Autumn months of 2007 for the Johannes Quartet. He wanted to compose a piece that would be very compact in form and duration, but still contain many different characters and textures. In other words, a little piece that behaves like a big piece. He has long been fascinated. and amused. by the arcane spermists’ theory, who held the belief that the sperm was in fact a "little man". homunculus. that was placed inside a woman for growth into a child. This seemed to them to neatly explain many of the mysteries of conception. It was later pointed out that if the sperm was a homunculus, identical in all but size to an adult, then the homunculus may have sperm of its own. This led to a reductio ad absurdum, with an endless chain of homunculi. This was not necessarily considered by spermists a fatal objection however, as it neatly explained how it was that "in Adam" all had sinned. the whole of humanity was already contained in his loins. He decided to call my piece Homunculus despite the obvious weaknesses of the spermists’ thinking, as he found the idea of a perfect little man strangely moving.

Homunculus er en kort. omkring 12 minutter. arbejde for strygekvartet, som komponisten skrev i løbet af efteråret måneder af 2007 for Johannes Quartet. Han ønskede at komponere et stykke, der ville være meget kompakt i form og varighed, men stadig indeholde mange forskellige figurer og teksturer. Med andre ord, et lille stykke, der opfører sig som et stort stykke. Han har længe været fascineret. og morede. af de mystiske spermists 'teori, der holdt den tro, at sæden var faktisk en "lille mand". homunculus. der blev anbragt inde i en kvinde for vækst i et barn. Dette syntes dem at pænt forklare mange af de mysterier undfangelse. Det blev senere påpeget, at hvis sæd var en homunculus identiske i alle undtagen størrelse til en voksen, så homunculus kan have sperm sin egen. Dette førte til en reductio ad absurdum, med en endeløs kæde af homunculi. Dette blev ikke nødvendigvis behandlet af spermists en fatal indvending imidlertid, som den forklarede pænt, hvordan det var, at "i Adam" alle havde syndet. hele menneskeheden var allerede indeholdt i hans lænder. Han besluttede at kalde mit stykke Homunculus trods af de åbenlyse svagheder spermists 'tænkning, da han fandt tanken om en perfekt lille mand mærkeligt at flytte.
