"Ide" for solo flute
"Ide" for solo flute
V. Somma: "Ide" for solo flute was written in 2013. The word "Ide" means go in archaic Portuguese, and in this tense suggests an imperatively dictated order. This caught my attention while reading the New Testament and noticed that Jesus used this imperative a few times with his disciples. This order was sometimes for his disciples to be like sheep among wolves, no matter the social or physical consequences of what they were about to do, other times the commendment was simply to spread love and grace around the world.
For the New Testament, man's relationship with his Creator thus suggests a decision to be made by man himself to go beyond what can be seen as reality, as if human beings had to have the courage to go without fear beyond its limits, and only then could it experience a transcendent spiritual reality.
A faith that involves the attitude of man, who by pure grace manages, if he so chooses, to go beyond.
