The
title Par-feshani-ye
'Eshq translates, in
English, to The
Fluttering Wings Of Love
and was taken from a text
by the 18th century Sufi
poet Bidel . Each brief
movement takes a couplet
from the poem as
inspiration, drawing on
an extraordinary array of
images of clay pots on
waterwheels, a
nightingale’s
fluttering wings, weighty
fetters links and the
world’s garden
roses. The work is
dedicated to friends
Renée Reznek and Bruce
Wannell. Bruce introduced
Harrison to the poetry of
Bidel and Renée had
the privilege of
performing the piece on
its premiere performance.
Australian born freelance
composer and performer
Sadie Harrison ’s
unique fusion of elements
from indigenousLithuanian
music and poetry with her
own modernist, often
abrasive, style have led
her to be compared with
Bartok, but with her own
warmth and grandeur.
Since 2012 Harrison has
been working alongside a
long list of well
accomplished musicians;
Paul Carey, Peter
Sheppard Skaerved, Sergej
Okrushko, Alex South,
Duncan Honeybourne are
among many who have had
the privilege work with
Harrison so far.
Performances of Harrison
's works have been given
across the world by
Lontano, London Chamber
Symphony, Music Projects/
London, Ixion, Okeanos,
Bournemouth Sinfonietta,
Kokoro and the St.
Christopherus Chamber
Orchestra, and many
others.
