Duration: ca. 6'00"
Program Notes:
I love stories.
I was greatly touched by the poetic beauty of a deeply mystical and metaphorical poem, “At the Twilight” by the 13th-century poet Rumi. The poem uses the imagery of a moon appearing in the sky at nightfall, and descending to earth to convey the idea of a spiritual journey. The loveliness and profound meaning of this poem written in such simple words and phrases touches me.
I was inspired to compose a piece that references natural landscapes metaphorically to unfold a story.
I hope I have set my music to reflect a sense of awe and wonder, and have captured the mystical atmosphere created by this remarkable poem.
