SONGS OF TRANSFORMATION

Composer: 
Jan Gilbert
Instrumentation freestyle: 
SATB choir, with Persian Ney, or Alto Flute

Composer's note:

Songs of Transformation, commissioned by Dr. Eugene Rogers for the Macalester College Choir, is inspired by the poetry of the 14th-century Persian poet Hâfez and the music of Hossein Omoumi.   

The first song, Kashti-ye bâdeh, is an arrangement of Professor Omoumi's original composition "Gusheh-ye Kereshmeh."  The second song "The Earth lifts its glass..," a setting of "A Crystal Rim" by the contemporary poet Daniel Ladinsky, juxtaposes the choral setting with the ney/flute solo, arranged by Hossein Omoumi.  Both texts are centered in Sufi philosophy.

Genre/Theme

Silent Moon

Composer: 
Ken Steen
Commissioned by Simsbury Public Schools, Silent Moon was composed in 2007 for SSAA and piano. The text, collected from a number of different poems by Giacomo Leopardi (1798-1837) where the moon appears prominently, were adapted from the originals in Italian.

Calvino says it best: "As soon as the moon appears in poetry, it brings with it a sensation of lightness, suspension, a silent calm enchantment." "For the miraculous thing about [Leopardi's] poetry is that he simply takes the weight out of language, to the point that it resembles moonlight. The appearances of the moon in his poetry do not take up many lines, but they are enough to shed the light of the moon on the whole poem, or else to project upon it the shadow of its absence.

It is the sensation of lightness, of suspension and transparency that I was after in adapting and setting Leopardi's poetry in Silent Moon.
