Dorff’s program
note describes
impressions of his visit
to Nagasaki while
withholding any
explanation of the three
movements. The 13-minute
work is a duo for violin
and one percussionist,
with an array of pitched
and unpitched ringing
metallic instruments plus
bass drum. THREE
MYSTERIES OF NAGASAKI was
inspired by the ambiguous
bells of the oldest
Western church in
Japan.In an island nation
that used to thrive on
isolation from the rest
of the world, Nagasaki
has long been a
vulnerable exception.
From the 16th through
19th centuries, it was
Japan’s only
international port, open
to Portuguese and Dutch
traders. From this sole
crossroads, Christianity
(along with European
food, flowers, and
language) began flowing
into the otherwise
insular culture. The US
Navy’s presence in
the 1800s added to
Nagasaki being
Japan’s exposed
Achilles’ heel,
which may be why
Puccini’s Madama
Butterfly is set in this
city, with
Cho-Cho-San’s
vulnerability symbolizing
the risk of openness to
Western
influence.I’ve had
occasion to visit
Nagasaki, and have never
felt so haunted. Aside
from the unspeakable
atrocity of 1945 and the
lasting presence of that
horror, there also
remains a mysterious air
of not really being in
pure Japan, or in the
present day. Nowhere was
this more obvious than
within the ÅŒura
Basilica, the earliest
Christian church built in
Japan. Decades after
visiting the basilica, I
still recall its oddly
distorted and slowly
pealing bells, and
timeless incense floating
in relative darkness. The
mysterious bells have
stayed with me both for
their own sonority, and
as a subconscious
reminder of everything
Nagasaki is and
was.Composed for a
violinist-percussionist
couple who ended a
decades-long relationship
just as I completed the
work (and never
performing it), it was
originally called simply
THREE MYSTERIES; I
couldn’t make a
direct reference in the
title because it felt too
raw. Looking back years
later, the updated title
THREE MYSTERIES OF
NAGASAKI seems to ask
more questions than it
answers. $21.99 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 1 to 2 weeks | | |

omers to Marjorie
Dobson's work, no less
than admirers of the
first collection of her
writings,
Multi-coloured
Maze, will recognise
in the contents of its
successor,
Unravelling the
Mysteries, an
authentic creative voice
crafting words, rhymes
and rhythms into the
expression of a lived
faith. As Janet
Wootton notes in her
preface to this second
anthology, Marjorie has
'a knack of rooting the
mysteries of faith in the
down-to-earth realities
of life, and stating them
in language that is at
the same time poetic and
completely accessible'.
This versatile,
contemporary idiom lies
at the core of forty new
hymns, offered with a
selection of musical
settings both original
and familiar that will
uplift the heart in voice
and verse. In addition,
there is a wealth of
poems, prayers and
dramatic pieces to
inspire and console,
whether in situations of
praise or reflection,
trial or
thanksgiving. The
focus overall is on the
enigmas of creation, of
belief, grace, choice,
sorrow and resurrection -
nothing less than the
all-embracing questions
that determine the route
and destination of life's
journeys. Marjorie
approaches these
mysteries in her own
inimitable way,
unravelling the tangled
threads for herself and
for others in the context
of the ambiguities and
complexities of the
modern world. From the
resonance of these texts,
worshippers, those in
fellowship or discussion
groups, and enquiring
individuals will be
empowered to explore
questions of faith, or
doubt, in their own
lives, with insights to
take them on the next
step of the road. $24.95 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 4 to 6 weeks | | |
