The "X-mas in the Sahara" is a subtitle made as a quasi program note for a commission for new X-mas music concert.
I often use images of deserted landscapes in my music.
I crossed the Sahara by car from North to South about 10 years ago and it was right around X-mas time. The feeling of social holidays in such a place feels foreign and distant, but still there. I love heavy contrasts too...
Thank you for your comments.
Best,
Peter
Respecto a la música, le diré que es parte de un trabajo discográfico de la Capela Lauda Sion titulado "Tenebrae factae sunt". Es la música tradicional de la liturgia de la Semana Santa en un pequeño pueblo de Galicia (España). Lo más difícil fue conseguir un sonido "popular" para el coro, es decir que no sonara profesional y ser así fieles al espíritu de la partitura, que obviamente está hecha para un "coro popular". La Capela Lauda Sion ha realizado la restauración integra de la partitura y la interpretamos todas los años en Semana Santa en A Pobra do Caramiñal, Galicia. En nuestro repertorio figuran también obras hasta el s. XX
Un Saludo.I'm glad you liked the track.
Best Wishes,
Peter
Like your music.
Thanks for your comment. I haven't done any more Yiddish arrangements for some time, though I'm quite happy with the reception my collection has received. I haven't written any choral music for a while, but that could change with a few more performances. In fact, Volti (www.voltisf.org) will be singing my Proverbs settings on 3 concerts in the Bay area next weekend -- if you can make one of them, please come up and say hello.
Best,
Mark
I didn't get the NACUSA spot. Oh well, maybe next time. Thanks for voting for me!
Do you brew, too?
Actually I didn't know that book, but it looks fascinating. I'll have to try and find a copy.
cheers
Dan
