لون احمر مِلئ السماء
دخان، تلوث، وباء
ام غروب الشمس؟

The sky was contaminated with RED
Fume, pollution, viruses
or sunset?

On Albert Camus' existentialist novel The Plague. How shall we face adversity? Camus gives us colorful characters that embody various approaches. Yes, the plague is an extreme situation, but we're all dying all the time anyway, right? Join Mark, Wes, Dylan and Seth to tease out Camus' positions from this bleak yet colorful text. Don't wait for part two; get the unbroken  now.

Movement III: Vivace

A wave of phrases in varied textures banishes the spell, and an energetic dance breaks out, based on the popular Syrian folk tune “My Grandmother’s Dance.” As with a host of Classic and Romantic concertos, Jandali’s finale combines elements of sonata and rondo form in a way that provides plentiful opportunities for the soloist to show dazzling skills. But with such a pronounced folk element one immediately thinks of national schools represented by such composers as Sibelius, Khachaturian, and Bartók. By
taking up this tradition of a folk-themed virtuoso finale, Jandali creates a new Syrian national school.

The finale’s second theme, too—which begins like a capricious march in the vein of Prokofiev or Shostakovich—borrows a motive from an old Syrian folk tune of unknown origin, which people have often fit with words to cheer on their favorite sports team. The main theme returns in developmental permutations that culminate in a grand pause. This sets up the entrance of the entire orchestra soaring majestically in the manner of a Tchaikovsky or Rachmaninoff “big tune,” here employing another old Syrian melody, a samā'i in the Bayati maqām. Jandali concludes with a return to the second theme, which builds in sound and speed to another dramatic pause and final emphatic chord.
