A subject of particular interest to me is exploring the relationship between poetry and contemporary music. Also, listening to nature and attempting to imitate it in a musical context can spark my imagination. For this text score, I selected the following short poem:
Tree is alone
The forest is the denseness of loneliness.
- Ali Balighi
In this piece, a conductor listens to the ensemble without a score and tries to communicate with the musicians. Furthermore, musicians should listen to each other so as not to copy each other's performances.
Composer: Ali Balighi
Mysterium Ensemble:
