Exhalation / Expiration (Expiration / Trépas), œuvre composée pour un ensemble à vent de trente-quatre instrumentistes, poursuit une série d'hommages musicaux par la compositrice à la mémoire de son père, Alexander Fol. La composition réunit différentes techniques musicales afin d'accomplir métaphoriquement un « mappage » où l'infection d'un corps en bonne santé subit une grave maladie, suivie progressivement par la mort de l'organisme. La durée de l'œuvre est 21 minutes et demie.La conception du matériau, notamment la forme, l'harmonie, le rythme et l'orchestration, inclut l'application d'une approche à la sémiotique musicale informée par l'Orphisme, doctrine philosophique et orale de la Thrace, ainsi que la recherche médicale sur des patients ayant le cancer en phase terminale. L'auteur définit deux types de signes musicaux, le type-événement et le type-processus, et décide sur une réalisation musicale de ces deux types aux niveaux formel et structurel. Dans la composition, les signes sont organisés comme symboles musicaux afin de décrire la transition graduelle entre le type de musique qui symbolise la santé – 'A' – et la musique qui symbolise la maladie – 'B', – le tout représenté par une collection d'occurrences et de traitement dominants de l'harmonie, du rythme et de l'orchestration.
Exhalation / Expiration, a composition for a wind ensemble of thirty-four players, continues a series of musical homages by the composer honouring her father, Alexander Fol. The composition unites different musical devices to accomplish a metaphorical mapping of the infection of a healthy body with a mortal sickness, followed by the organism's gradual demise. The work's duration is twenty-one-and-a-half minutes.The design of these materials, which incorporates the form, harmony, rhythm and orchestration, applies an approach to musical semiotics informed by the philosophical doctrine of Thracian Oral Orphism, as well as by medical research on terminally ill cancer patients. The author defines two types of musical signs, the event-type and the process-type, and decides upon a musical realization thereof at the formal and structural levels. In the composition, the signs are organized as musical symbols that portray the gradual transition between the types of music symbolizing health – 'A' – and sickness – 'B' – represented by types of harmonic, rhythmic and orchestrational treatment.
