Cor\/Kor is also the word stem or word for \u201cchoir\u201d in several languages.

The core of COR is an intersection double bass and percussion solo with the musicians improvising based on an image in the score.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s\" style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cThe image indicates the way I see the sound,\u201d says B\u00e1ra G\u00edslad\u00f3ttir. \u201cIt is the simplest and most honest way to show it.\u201d As a performer herself as well as a composer she prefers to avoid detailed wordy descriptions and finds that images or graphic notation often gives a better understanding of the composer's idea.<\/div>\n<div class=\"x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s\" style=\"text-align: justify\">\nCor in the meaning of \u2018choir\u2019 is expressed in passes of growls and voiced flutters in the brass and woodwind sections turning the orchestra into a large, distorted choir. \u201cI try to approach the word and the work from different angles, and I believe that regardless of the number of different approaches, we eventually reach a unity, the core of it all, B\u00e1ra G\u00edslad\u00f3ttir states.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"btn-holder animation\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/fb.me\/e\/8MORjAdmu\" target=\"\" class=\"btn btn-lg btn-dark btn-with-arrow-right\">See event on facebook<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":16870,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"wds_primary_departmens_cat":0,"wds_primary_global_cat":0,"wds_primary_events_cat":0,"footnotes":""},"departmens_cat":[123],"global_cat":[],"events_cat":[210],"class_list":["post-16869","events","type-events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","departmens_cat-tonlistardeild","events_cat-samhengi"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lhi.is\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events\/16869","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lhi.is\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lhi.is\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/events"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lhi.is\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16869"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.lhi.is\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events\/16869\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19887,"href":"https:\/\/www.lhi.is\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events\/16869\/revisions\/19887"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lhi.is\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16870"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lhi.is\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16869"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"departmens_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lhi.is\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/departmens_cat?post=16869"},{"taxonomy":"global_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lhi.is\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/global_cat?post=16869"},{"taxonomy":"events_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lhi.is\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events_cat?post=16869"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
