German text. The title “Jeita” has a double meaning. Firstly, Jeita is the name of a district in Lebanon, noted for the karstic limestone cavernsin the almost nine-kilometre wide Nahr a-Kalb Valley. Secondly, the roots of the word “Jeita” are also found in the Aramaic word “Ge’itts”, which means “roaring” or “noise”. Michaela Rea Catranis had a cave as the symbol of isolation and creativity in mind whilst composing her work for cello solo. “A quiet, hidden place of self-observation”, as the composer says. In addition, the “roaring” in this piece plays an important role; Catranis calls it “a primordial, energising, deep-bellied and life-giving roar, notan aggressive one. It represents the impulse of creative energy: both the instinct to create and the flow of energy awakened throughthe process of creation.”.
