Agnus Dei qui tollis peccata mundi (2008)

Instrumentation: for six musicians (gayageum, daegum, piri, piano, cello and guitar)

Huber's latest setting to music of the "Agnus Dei" was born out of decades of influence from Younghi Pagh-Paan, whose traditional music from her Korean home became an ideal projection screen for remembering and longing for the overcoming suffering and sadness. He created a dialogue between our European sounds and three Korean instruments - and their completely different tunings: flute (daegum), zither (gayageum) and oboe (piri).
