The cantata Grief of Gravity tells the story of two lovers: Awareness', consciousness that connects us all and 'Gravity'. For billions of years, 'Gravity' and 'Awareness' intertwined until a light beam does see them together. 'Grief of Gravity' consists of three parts with a prologue and is musically composed of several basic ingredients: the note A, matching 'Awareness', the A as the first letter of the alphabet and the first note in this cantata, and the note G of 'Gravity', G-Force in other words the force of gravity. Grief of Gravity is a composed by the Dutch composer Monique Krüs. Irma Achten wrote the lyrics.
