Program Note
Winner of the special price by Cluster and an honowable mention in the lunigiana International Festival composition competition, "A cry from the frozen pole" is a poem written by the syrian poet Shadi Sawan in 2010, lunching a cry to save the humanity in our souls, against the system that barries our souls before we are even born, leaving us without hope, to live our lives in the emptiness, rigidity, coldness and pain, as if we are living in a frozen world, traveling from ice to ice.
The rhythm elements in the piece are inspired by an Arabic folk tune called "Aintoura" that uses the dabkeh rhythm of 6/4. The melodic elements are the result of the merging of four of the most significant Arabic Makams (scales), which are: Rast, Bayati, Sikah, and Saba.
All these elements (in addition to using the instruments in an Arabic traditional way), combined with the baritone oriental singing, help us to sense an echo of the ancient Arabic traditional music, in a contemporary context that reflects at the same time our new world and new sounds.
The music, as well as the poem, help this piece to present an image of the reality of living in this region: always trying to relive our beautiful memories, but faced with an echo that we can barely hear or acknowledge, an echo that we rely upon to get the hope we seek to skip this big prison someday.
