"Invocatio" is a contemporary classical composition by Estonian composer René Eespere. The piece was composed in 1997 and premiered on October 17th of the same year in Tallinn, Estonia. "Invocatio" is a three-movement work for string orchestra. The first movement, "Invocation," is characterized by a slow and solemn introduction, followed by a lively and rhythmic section. The second movement, "Meditation," is a slow and introspective piece that features a haunting melody played by the violins. The final movement, "Dance," is a lively and energetic piece that features a fast and rhythmic tempo, with the strings playing in unison. The overall character of "Invocatio" is contemplative and introspective, with moments of energy and excitement. Eespere's use of dissonance and unconventional harmonies creates a sense of tension and unease, while his use of repetitive motifs and rhythms creates a sense of unity and coherence throughout the piece. Overall, "Invocatio" is a powerful and evocative work that showcases Eespere's skill as a composer and his ability to create complex and emotionally charged music.
