680160669851. 9 x 12
inches. A
fascination with
polycultural synergy
between diverse literary
textsdrives the
inspiration for much of
Mohammed Fairouz’s
prodigiouscreative
output, including
instrumental music as
well as vocal. Inhis
profound and extensive
essay preceding the
score, Fairouz shedslight
on how Edgar Allen
Poe’s “Israfel”
relates to the
prophetsand prophesies of
the Quran, Old Testament,
and New Testament.The
eight-movement quartet
may be heard as a
dramatic galleryof
portraits and of
story-telling,
flourishing in a
post-traditionallanguage
that is at once
vernacular and spiritual,
Middle Easternand
Western. The complete set
of score and parts is
included in
thispublication. (See
pages 2-3 of score for
clear distinction of
paragraphs,
etc.)Prophesies, by
Mohammed FairouzEdgar
Allen Poe’s rendition
of Israfel was the point
of departure for the
final movement of my
previous stringquartet
which is titled The Named
Angels. At the opening of
his poem, Poe evokes the
Quran:“And the angel
Israfel, whose
heartstrings are a lute,
and who has the sweetest
voice of all God’s
creatures.”This informs
the first lines of the
poem that, in turn, gave
me the title for the
final movement of The
Named
Angels,“Israfel’s
Spell”:In Heaven a
spirit doth dwell“Whose
heartstrings are a
lute”None sing so
wildly wellAs the angel
Israfel,And the giddy
stars (so legends
tell),Ceasing their
hymns, attend the spellOf
his voice, all mute.It is
the end of that poem,
however, that is the
starting point for the
current quartet,
Prophesies, which
concernsitself with
mortal prophets rather
than eternal Angelic
spirits.If I could
dwellWhere IsrafelHath
dwelt, and he where I,He
might not sing so wildly
wellA mortal melody,While
a bolder note than this
might swellFrom my lyre
within the sky.Islamic
thought has asked us to
look at the example of
the prophets. That’s
significant because of
the fact thatJoseph and
all the prophets were
human beings with the
flaws of human beings. No
prophet was perfect,
andIslamic tradition has
never asked its followers
to aspire to the example
of the Angels, the
perfected ones. Instead
weare given the gift of
our prophets. While The
Named Angels drew on the
motion and energy of
everlasting
spirits,Prophesies is a
depiction of the
movements within our own
mortal coil.This quartet
is a continuation of a
long tradition of Muslim
artists telling their
stories and singing their
songs.Many of these
renditions are, in fact,
figurative and (contrary
to popular belief) the
Quran contains no
“Islamicedict”
prohibiting figurative
renditions of the figures
described in the Old
Testament, New Testament,
or Quran.The majority of
artists, however, have
preferred eternal and
abstract forms such as
words and their
calligraphicrepresentatio
ns, poems (Yusuf and
Zuleikha or the
Conference of Birds come
immediately to mind),
architecture,and many
other non-figurative art
forms to the
representation of man.
These cold, ancient, and
everlasting shapesof
unending time flourished,
and the divine infinity
of representing geometric
forms gained favor over
the placementof the
explicit representation
of mankind and our own
likeness at the center of
the universes.Adding the
string quartet to these
forms which express the
recursive spheres of
heavens and earth
abstractly shouldexplain
why I have chosen to
render higher things
through the use of music
without the addition of
words or anyother
art-form. It is the
abstract art of pure
form, in which all is
form and all is content,
which compels me.
Thisquartet should be
seen as no more
programmatic than the
arches of the Great
Mosque at Cordoba.The
first movement, Yāqub
(Jacob), is slow, quiet
and prayerful. It evokes
the patient sorrow of a
slow choraledeveloping
over time as it coaxes
our pulse out of the
ticking of a clock-like
meter that defines our
day-to-day livesand into
a divine eternity.The
second, Saleh, imagines
the spirit of that
desert-prophet through
the use of a Liwa; the
dance-sequence that
hasbeen such a prevalent
form of expression in the
Arabian Peninsula for
much of our recorded
history.The third
movement is titled
Dawoōd, and it is
emblematic of the beloved
Prophet, King, and
Psalmist, David.Though it
has no lyrics, the
movement functions as a
dabkeh (an ancient dance
native to the Levant) and
also “sets”the
opening of Psalm 100
(Make a joyful noise unto
the Lord, all ye lands).
This line is never set to
music or sung inthe
quartet but is evoked
through the rhythmic
shape of the violin part
which imitates the
phonology and rhythmof my
speaking the opening line
in the Hebrew and
develops the contours of
that line incessantly
throughout
themovement.3The fourth
movement is an ode to
Yousef (Joseph) and
relates to the first
movement in tempo and
tone just as
Josephrelates to Jacob,
his father. Together, the
first and fourth
movements provide a sort
of Lamentation and
relief.Joseph had the
appearance of a noble
angel, but he was very
much a human being. And
the story of this
particularprophet had
tragic beginnings many
years before he found
himself in a position of
power in Egypt. Back in
his youth,still among the
Israelites, Joseph
experienced a series of
revelations through his
dreams that spoke of his
impendingcareer in
prophecy. He confided his
dreams to his father, the
Prophet Jacob, who told
his son of the greatness
thatawaited him in his
future only to have his
brothers throw him into a
well and leave him for
dead. Joseph
eventuallyfound his way
from Israel to Egypt and
rose out of slavery into
a position of power.
Meanwhile, famine engulfs
Israel.Forty years pass,
and back in the land of
Jacob and Rachel, of
Joseph’s brothers and
Abraham’s tribe, Israel
wasnot spared the effects
of the famine. They
sorely lacked Joseph’s
prophecy and his vision.
The Qur’an then tells
usthat Jacob, sensing
Joseph, sends the other
brothers to Egypt
instructing them to come
back with food and
grain.Arriving in Egypt,
they unwittingly appear
before Joseph. They
don’t recognize their
little brother who has
risen toa position of
might, dressed in his
Egyptian regalia. They
ask for the food and the
grain.After some
conversation, Joseph is
no longer able to contain
his emotion. Overcome, he
reveals himself to his
nowterrified brothers. He
embraces them. He asks
them eagerly, “How is
our father?” Joseph
gives them the gift of
thefood and the grain
that they came in search
of. He relieves them from
hunger and alleviates
their fear. He sendsthem
back with proof that he
is alive, and it is this
joyful proof from the
miraculous hands of a
prophet that bringsback
the ancient Jacob’s
vision after 40 years of
blindness.In this story,
I am struck by the fact
that Joseph may not have
made the decision to
forgive his brothers on
thespot, but that
something inside the
prophet’s soul found
forgiveness and peace for
the brothers who had so
gravelywronged him at
some point along his
journey. I would suspect
this point to have been
present at Joseph’s
inception,even before he
had ever been
wronged.This is proof, if
we needed it, that
Joseph’s angel-like
beauty was not only
physical and external,
but also internalas well:
Joseph possessed a
profound loveliness of
spirit that bound his
appearance and his soul.
In Joseph, formand soul
are one.Time is to
musicians what light is
to a painter. In this
way, the story of Joseph
also shows us that time
can affectour perception
of even the most tragic
wounds. In fact, the most
common Arabic word for
“human being” is
insaan,which shares its
roots with the word
insaa, “to forget.”
While our ability to
remember is essential to
how we learnabout
ourselves, our capacity
to “forgive and
forget” may also be one
of our great gifts as
human beings.The fifth
movement follows my ode
to Joseph with a
structural memory of
Mūsa (Moses). The
movement consistsentirely
of descending motifs
which I constructed as an
indication of Moses’
descending movement as he
emergedto his people from
the heights of Mt. Sinai.
The music is constructed
in five phrases which
function as a
formalreference to the
five books of Moses, the
Pentateuch. The movement
is placed as the fifth of
the quartet for the
samereason.While Joseph
is always evoked as
supremely beautiful in
the Books of Judaism,
Christianity, and Islam,
Suleiman(Solomon) is
described as surpassing
in his quicksilver
intelligence. This
movement is composed of a
seven-partriddle which
passes by in an instant
but can be caught by the
attentive listener. From
Solomon, we work our
wayback to Yishak (Isaac)
in a seventh movement
that evokes Isaac’s
literal meaning in Arabic
and Hebrew: laughter.The
eighth and final movement
of this quartet is named
for the Patriarch of the
entire Book: Ibrahim
(Abraham). Itrelates to
Isaac just as Joseph
relates to Jacob; they
are father and son. The
lines are prayerful and
contemplative;the form of
the music evolves from a
fugue joining together
many different forms of
prayer into a single
tapestry ofcounterpoint,
to the cyclical form of
this entire quartet which
is rendered through the
motion of pilgrims
circling theKaaba (cube)
in Mecca — a structure
which was built by
Abraham for Hagaar and
their son Ismail.These
are just some of the
figures that are
cherished by all three of
the Middle Eastern
monotheisms
(Judaism,Christianity,
and Islam) that the
Qur’an refers to
collectively as Ahl
Al-Kitab. This Arabic
phrase is most
commonlytranslated as
“The People of the
Book,” but here the
most common translation
is a flawed one: the
Arabic word“ahl”
means “family” and
not just “people.” A
better translation would
be “Family of the
Book.” Each of the
eightmovements of
Prophesies grows from a
single musical cell.This
quartet is a family
album.—Mohammed Fairouz

on the poetry of Edna St.

has long been enamored
with her poetry's

its powerful and profound
meaning. The first
movement, SONG OF A

detailing a time of
personal strife and
tragedy, perhaps the end
of a relationship or even
the end of a life. The
music is intense, fast,
in a minor key, creating
a feeling of powerful,
relentless emotions.
Little by little, the
music almost dies away,
getting quieter and
quieter, creating a
feeling of resignation,
but with a surprise
Picardy Third in the
final chord –
suggesting a bit of
hope!. SECOND APRIL
for S.A.T.B. Chorus and
Piano is a four-movement
set, based on the poetry
of Edna St. Vincent
Millay. I have long been
enamored with the poetry
of Millay for its
wonderfully vivid and
descriptive imagery, and
its often powerful and
profound meaning.
Millay’s descriptions
of nature, and of
feelings and emotions,
have always spoken to me.
SECOND APRIL consists of
four of her poems, each
with a distinctive mood,
message, and emotional
feel. They are vivid,
powerful, and beautiful,
inspiring me to capture
these descriptions of the
various scenes she
portrays. Song of a
Second April uses music
to underlie strong
feelings, passions, and
the tragedies of life.
The poem itself is
dramatic, detailing a
time of personal strife
and tragedy, perhaps the
end of a relationship or
even the end of a life.
The music is intense,
fast, in a minor key, and
with rapid, spinning
notes creating a feeling
of powerful, relentless
emotions. Melodies,
motives, and gestures are
tossed between the
voices, increasing the
feelings of intensity and
even desperation. Little
by little, the music
almost dies away, getting
quieter and quieter,
creating a feeling of
resignation, but with a
Picardy Third in the
final chord – maybe a
bit of hope! Mariposa
is a celebration of
nature, wandering through
a field with white and
blue butterflies
appearing almost
wondrously. But there’s
also a profound feeling
of poignancy, noting that
as one relishes such a
beautiful, magical sight,
they should embrace the
experience – the
fleeting, transient
nature of such a perfect
vision and of life
itself. The music
portrays the flying of
the butterflies: gentle,
beautiful, with rich
chords and arpeggios, but
stepping back, as the
fleeting nature of life
is the reality, with
gentle, but sombre chords
interspersed with the
magical flight of the
Mariposa.Alms is a fast
rondo, intense, bold, and
always dance-like. It is
about both tragedy and
resilience. This music is
also in minor, yet with
moments of playfulness,
as a recollection of
happy times or moments
takes over. This seesaw
between emotions is heard
throughout the movement,
as the music continues to
“dance.” And with
Millay’s summing up of
“reality being what it
is,” the piece ends
with strength, boldness,
and finality. Into the
Golden Vessel of Great
Song is an appassionato
call to overcome! The
poem exhorts us to
“sing out” with hope,
determination, and
strength. The music is
full of bright and
lilting energy; but as
the turmoil and times of
strife people can
sometimes feel or
experience, the music
becomes intense,
dramatic, in a minor key,
and with changing
rhythms. BUT, there is a
return to championing the
idea of simply
overcoming, going forward
with hope and
determination, and the
music is in major,
resonant and strong.

(2014) is an
interdisciplinary
work...but it stands
alone in a chamber music
setting. The work spans a
stunning range of
textures, from
introspective solos for
each of the four
saxophones to majestic
hyper-active gestures.
The PRISM Quartet
recorded Not Alone for a
2017 release on XAS

for a wider community of
saxophonists to embrace
the work, and share it
with their own audiences.

by composer Chen YiThe
original inspiration for
this work for both the
choreographer and the
composer came from the
Tang Dynasty poem - Alone
Under the Moon by Li Bai.
The poem describes the
poet being alone in a
garden. The moon and his
shadow became his
companions that night.
The choreographer brings
this idea to modern life
in an urban setting. She
created a series of
“mindscapesâ€
which are the result of
the exploration of the
different mental and
physical states of being
alone.Through
self-examination, the
choreographer raises the
question: are we ever
really alone? Our
physical being may be
standing by itself, but
what about our
introspective self? When
we are still, we let our
thoughts pass by like
flowing water. If we
could engage with our
shadows, what would it be
like?Program Note by

Eastern and Western,
ancient and modern
traditions in a voice all
her own.Chen Yi has
written or adapted four
works for the PRISM
Quartet. She penned a
wonderful miniature
called HappyBirth day to
PRISM to celebrate the
ensemble’s 20th
anniversary back in 2004
(Dedication, Innova
Recordings).We
subsequently commissioned
her to compose Septet
(2008) for Erhu, Pipa,
Percussion, and Saxophone
Quartet(2008), premiered
and recorded with the New
York ensemble Music From
China (Antiphony, Innova
Recordings 2010).In 2015,
the PRISM Quartet
performed and recorded
(XAS Records) a new
version of her saxophone
quartet concerto,BA YIN,
with the University of
Missouri-Kansas City Wind
Ensemble under the baton
of Steven Davis
(originally writtenfor
the Rascher Quartet and
scored for saxophones and
string
orchestra.).Finally, Not
Alone (2014) is an
interdisciplinary work
written for the Nai-Ni
Chen Dance Company with
the PRISMQuartet, but it
stands alone in a chamber
music setting. The work
spans a stunning range of
textures, from
introspectivesolos for
each of the four
saxophones to majestic
hyper-active gestures.
The PRISM Quartet
recorded Not Alonefor a
2017 release on XAS
Records titled Paradigm
Lost. But we’re
excited for a wider
community of saxophonists
toembrace the work, and
share it with their own
audiences.In his liner
notes for the recording,
WNYC’s John
Schaefer writes:
“As with much of
her music, Chen employs
percussiveeffects and
glissandi; in Chinese
music these are not
considered
“extended
techniques†or
special effects, but
animportant part of the
performer’s
arsenal. Here, they help
create the twilit mood of
the opening moments. The
piecesoon becomes more
dramatic, suggesting the
arrival of the
drinker’s
companions (real or
imagined) and his or
herincreasingly garrulous
outbursts. Passages of
consonance and discord
can easily be heard as
companionable singingand
bouts of drunken
argument. The piece
bustles along on a kind
of restless energy,
until, finally, that
restlessnesssubsides,
giving way to a gently
humorous ending where a
short falling phrase
signals the drinker
falling
asleep.â€. $39.99 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 1 to 2 weeks | | |

680160686032. The
four name arias in
HARRIET TUBMAN: When I
crossed that Line To
Freedom, portray stages
in the title character's
transformation from slave
to freedom-fighter.
First, as a child, she
introduces herself as
Araminta, who is often
called, Minty. Her naive
prattlings establish a
dramatic contrast between
childhood's contentment
and the harsh realities
of slave existence. My
name is Harriet, now.
Don't call me Minty any
more, declares the
teenaged heroine. Having
survived a series of
abusive masters and a
debilitating injury, she
asserts her rites of
womanhood through the
shedding of her childhood
moniker. The grown
Harriet Tubman
reintroduces herself as a
free woman, recounting
the harrowing tale of
escape from slavery.
Confronted by bittersweet
poignancy at having
crossed the line to
freedom without family to
welcome her, she is
inspired towards a new
goal: returning home to
rescue loved ones. In the
final aria, Tubman, a
seasoned conductor on the
Underground Railroad,
embraces the folkloric
title given to her by
escapees and aspiring
runaways. I am 'Moses,
the Liberator,' she
proclaims. Her
transformation is
complete. The four

French. A
previously unreleased
piece by Francis Poulenc,
published with permission
from the Bibliothèque
Historique de la Ville de
Paris and Benoît
Seringe, secretary of the
Association des amis
de Francis Poulenc
[Association of the
Friends ofFrancis
Poulenc]. Le Voyageur
sans bagage [The
Traveller Without
Luggage], which had been
premiered in 1937 with
music by Darius Milhaud,
was reprised on 1 April
1944 at the Thé tre de
la Michodière; Francis
Poulenc was asked to
compose new stage music.
Theentire unpublished
score lay undiscovered
until Bérengère de
l’Épine, a
librarian at the
Bibliothèque
Historique de la Ville de
Paris, announced the
existence of a manuscript
in the Association de la
Régie Thé trale
collection.Poulenc
finalised the score
between 19 and 21 March
1944. It contains nine
songs, all written for a
small instrumental
ensemble including oboe,
clarinet, cello and
piano. However, at the
end of the manuscript,
the composer echoes the
second song Lent
[Slow] and creates
another version for cello
and piano; curiously, the
original version of the
song has not been erased
in the manuscript.
Poulenc seems to suggest
that we consider the
piece for cello and
piano, that we have
publishedhere, as a
different piece of music.
It was premiered on
Wednesday 23 January 2013
by Marc Coppey,
accompanied by
Jean-François Heisser,
in the organ auditorium
of the Conservatoire
National Supérieur de
Musique et Danse de Paris
(CNSMDP), during
thesymposium for the
fiftieth anniversary of
Poulenc’s
death.Given in a dramatic
context, some elements
allow us to get an idea
of the character of the
piece, which Benoît
Seringe, Poulenc’s
beneficiary, judiciously
chose to name
Souvenirs.The main
character of
Anouilh’s play,
Gaston, is suffering from
amnesia at the end of
World War One. Several
families try to claim
him; they want him to be
their missing relative.
The Renaud family prove
to be particularly
stubborn, but Gaston
doesnot recognize himself
in the child and young
man they depict: a
ruthless and violent
person. In Act 1 Scene 3,
left alone for a moment,
overwhelmed by the story
of the “old
Gaston†that is
gradually coming to
light, and outraged by
the desire ofthose around
him to appropriate him
(to the detriment of the
person he would like to
be from now on), he
whispers these words:
“You all have
proof, photographs that
look like me, memories as
clear as day…
I’ve listened to
you all and it’s
slowlycausing a hybrid
person to rise up in me;
a person in which there
is a piece of each of
your sons and nothing of
me.†Poulenc chose
to place the second piece
from his stage music
score as these words are
spoken.He borrowed part
of the material, as he
often did, from an
earlier composition. In
this particular case, the
beginning is a recycled
version of the
“slow and
melancholicâ€
section from
L’Histoire de
Babar , composed
between 1940 and 1945,
andpremiered in 1946
(unless it is Babar
that reuses the
musical idea from
Voyageur ).The
eponymous elephant
decides to leave in
search of the great
forest. He embraces the
old lady, promises her he
will return and reassures
her that he will never
forget her. Left alone,
the old lady, feeling sad
and pensive, wonders when
she’ll seeher
friend Babar again. The
situation is similar to
that in Voyageur sans
bagage: solitude,
sadness, a distressing
and introspective time,
fear of oblivion, the
presence of
memories…
Pi
èce inédite de
Francis Poulenc,
publiée avec
l’autorisation de
la Bibliothèque
historique de la ville de
Paris et de Benoît
Seringe, secrétaire de
l’Association des
Amis de Francis
Poulenc.Le 1er avril
1944, Le Voyageur sans
bagage d’Anouilh,
qui avait été
créé en 1937 avec
de la musique de Darius
Milhaud, est repris au
Thé tre de la
Michodière. Francis
Poulenc a été
sollicité afin
d’écrire une
nouvelle musique de
scène. On ignoraittout
de cette partition
inédite,
jusqu’au jour
où Bérengère de
l’Épine,
conservateur la
Bibliothèque
historique de la ville de
Paris, nous signala
l’existence
d’un manuscrit
dans le fonds de
l’Association de
la Régie thé
trale.Poulenc mit au
point sa partition entre
le 19 et le 21 mars 1944.
Elle comprend neuf
numéros, tous
écrits pour un petit
effectif instrumental
réunissant un
hautbois, une clarinette,
un violoncelle et un
piano.Cependant, la fin
de son manuscrit, le
compositeur reprend le no
2 Lent et en donne une
seconde version, pour
violoncelle et piano.
Curieusement, la version
originale de ce numéro
n’est pas
biffée dans le
manuscrit.Poulenc semble
nous inviter
considérer comme un
morceau distinct cette
pièce pour violoncelle
et piano dont nous
proposons ici
l’édition. Elle
a été créée
par Marc Coppey,
accompagné de
Jean-François Heisser,
lors du concert donné
durant lecolloque
organisé pour le
cinquantenaire du
décès de Poulenc,
le mercredi 23 janvier
2013, salle
d’orgue du
Conservatoire National
Supérieur de Musique
et de Danse de Paris
(CNSMDP).Quelques
éléments sur le
contexte dramatique
permettront de se faire
une idée du
caractère du morceau,
que Benoît Seringe,
ayant droit Poulenc, a
judicieusement choisi
d’intituler
Souvenirs.Le personnage
principal de la pièce
d’Anouilh, Gaston,
a été retrouvé
amnésique la fin de la
Première Guerre
Mondiale. Plusieurs
familles le réclament.
On veut voir en lui un
parent disparu. Les
Renaud se montrent
particulièrement
tenaces ; maisGaston ne
parvient se
reconnaître dans
l’enfant et le
jeune homme dont on lui
trace le portrait : un
être violent et sans
scrupule. Au tableau 3 de
l’acte I, resté
seul un moment,
écrasé par
l’histoire de cet
autre lui-même
qu’il découvre
peu peu, indigné par
le désir des personnes
qui l’entourent de
le ramener elles au
détriment de celui
qu’il voudrait
être désormais, il
se murmure ces paroles :
« Vous avez tous des
preuves, des
photographies
ressemblantes, des
souvenirs précis
commedes crimes… je
vous écoute tous et je
sens surgir peu peu
derrière moi un
être hybride où il
y a un peu de chacun de
vos fils et rien de moi
»…C’est
sur ces mots que Poulenc
a choisi de placer le no
2 de sa partition de
musique de scène.Comme
il le fait souvent, il
emprunte une composition
antérieure une part de
son matériau. Dans ce
cas précis, il
réutilise pour le
début du morceau la
section « Lent et
mélancolique » de
l’Histoire de
Babar, composée entre
1940 et 1945, créée
en1946 ( moins que ce ne
soit Babar qui
réutilise
l’idée musicale
du Voyageur). Le
héros-éléphant
s’est décidé
partir pour retrouver la
grande forêt. Il a
embrassé la vieille
dame, lui a promis de
revenir, l’a
rassurée : jamais il
ne
l’oubliera.RestÃ
e seule, la vieille
dame, triste et pensive,
se demande quand elle
reverra son ami Babar. La
situation est similaire
celle du Voyageur sans
bagage : solitude,
tristesse, instantde
trouble et de retour sur
soi, crainte de
l’oubli,
présence des
souvenirs…. $11.95 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 4 to 6 weeks | | |
