Unique composition about the healing power of nature and music was created, honoring the anniversary of JSC “Grindeks” subsidiary JSC “Kalceks”
Combining the magic of nature and music, the composer Kristaps Krievkalns, together with the mixed choir “Anima” from Saulkrasti and ensembles of musicians, recorded the symphonic poem “Belladonna. Black-eyed beauty." A video clip was also created for the composition, which was filmed in the most beautiful places in
The origins of pharmaceuticals and medicines that are produced today in modern factories from artificially synthesized substances go back to nature. The centenary symphonic poem also deals with the plant growing in the open air in
The plot of the symphonic poem is based on a plant found in Latvian nature that can soothe, heal and beautify – belladonna (lat. Atropa belladonna).
“An analogue of the active ingredient of belladonna, due to its calming effect, is also used in one of the “Kalceks” medicines. In ancient times, the plant was often used for beauty, but today it is used only in medicine and under the supervision of specialist pharmacists. It helps to relax in proper pharmaceutical doses,” says Sanita Skladova, senior project manager for research and development at “Kalceks”, about the nuances of pharmaceutical and natural substances.
The musical motive of the piece begins with silence, the first drops of music merge with the motives created by the musicians – saxophone, trombone, guitar, motives of the ensemble of percussion and strings, and the voices of the choir singers, which at the climax give a powerful force leading to healing.
The symphonic poem was created by: composer Kristaps Krievkalns, Saulkrasti mixed choir “Anima” and its artistic director
The symphonic poem is a gift to “Kalceks” employees, partners in
