"Tea with Debussy & Pärt in Casablanca" is a musical dream that bloomed during my vacation in Havana, Cuba. Inspired by classical masterpieces from Arvo Pärt and Claude Debussy, I envisioned an imaginary encounter with these esteemed composers in Casablanca, over Moroccan tea.

This piece is not an imitation of their styles but rather a heartfelt conversation between us. It embodies the essence of typical conversations in Morocco, where we all speak at the same time, meandering from topic to topic, and experiencing numerous changes of atmospheres, tempi, textures, and fragments of thematic material.

It begins with minimalist touches, a nod to Pärt's recent works, where the piano introduces serene arpeggios, intertwining with heartfelt viola melodies. As we delve into our tea time, I incorporate some of Debussy's harmonic vocabulary. 

Throughout our harmonious dialogue, the piece mirrors the dynamic nature of conversations in Morocco. We experience moments of collective excitement, where the music swells with vibrant textures and lively tempi, as if everyone is speaking at once. Themes and motifs emerge and intertwine, mirroring the meandering nature of our discussion as we navigate from one topic to another.

As our musical journey unfolds, our collaboration celebrates cultural fusion, weaving together Pärt, Debussy, and my artistic zest. Each voice contributes to the narrative, inviting moments of wonder and contemplation through our shared inspirations.

Tea with Debussy and Pärt in Casablanca for Clarinet in A and Piano Virtual Pre-Release Version

Today, while sitting on my fav’rite chair 
I heard something on the ra-di-o
Saying
hey…

What does - it - all - mean…?
And where -  do  - we go…?
What is - the purpose -  of this all…?

But 
then, 
A light comes to me;
Don’t be afra’id…
All will be one…

Sometimes, I don’t know what’s true or false
And - the illusory – truth - kicks in
Saying 
hey…

All is black and grey…
Utterly, black and grey…
What is - the purpose -  of this all…?

But 
then, 
A light comes to me;
Don’t be afra’id…
All will be one…

Often confused about rea-li-ty
But I’m sure, I really saw that light 
Whisp’ring 
hey…

All ‘ be one
One ‘ be all 

All will be one…

All Will Be One (Instrumental)

Oh, summer song.
Why you giving me what for?
You turned your face towards the rain.
Oh, summer song.
Are you still floating in the sky?
You looked away when I needed you.
Well, I guess you gotta do the things you do.

Oh, summer sun.
Won't you burn my fears away?
I rest my head at night and dream.
Oh, summer sun.
Won't you give me one more try.
To make the mist just dissipate.
Why are we all waiting/running late?

They all say.
That the dreams we have as children fade away.
In the haze of many moons.
Caught out by June.
It's gone so soon.
I remember.
Almost every little phrase became ingrained.
On the path.
To the last.
So why'm I trying so hard for the laughs?

Oh, summer song.
Are you still giving up the gold?
It's nice to finally find a ripple in your folds.
Oh, summer song.
A brighter version of the day.
A final point to make the sway.
Get over here if you've something to say.

Oh, I must say.
As the dreams we had as children fade to grey.
And as the hazy days of June.
Forget the tune.
It's gone too soon.
I remember.
Almost every little phrase became ingrained.
On the path.
To the last.
So why we trying so hard for the laughs?

They all say.
That the dreams we have as children fade away.
In the haze of many moons.
Caught out by June.
It's gone so soon.
I remember.
Almost every little phrase became ingrained.
On the path.
To the last.
So why'm I trying so hard for the laughs?
