Poem by Sandra

Where is my Father?


As I walk on this path of darkness ahead,
Give me hope,strength
and courage to continue on these footsteps I tread.
Hold me and protect me
as I lovingly say,
“Father, come closer, bless me and give me wisdom this day ”.

Take my hand
raise me and carry me
as I travel this storm ahead.
Fear nor discouragement 
nor hopelessness nor despair do I dread.
As I breathe deeply and pray ,
“Tell me , Father . Where are you today ? 
As I search and realize I have lost my way.”

Shield me
while I walk through the tears that I shed.
Hold me close
and comfort me.
Strong is my Faith.
I fear my last breath is near.
I long for the light as death approaches and is now here.

Confused where to go.
Lost on this path .
As I walk in the footsteps of those who traveled here once before.
Remembering those who were dear.
Now lying nearby here 
in these shallow graves.
Closing my eyes 
realizing  one day , I too will die
Leaving behind these worries and pains with such relief.

As I search to understand 
this never ending struggle .
As I repeat this dream in my head .
A path, loved ones and my Father .
Reunited.
Together and  forever more.
As I long for the true meaning of life 
and what brings tomorrow.

A long time ago,
a memory or just a feeling.
No longer in fear.
my father at my side.
As I softly whisper ,
“Father , you are truly here.
As I love you so.”

AKA.....Where Is My Father .C.

Andrzej Karalow – Some whispers of mists and water above, hidden in the rocks (2024) for clarinet, violin, cello and piano

The work is inspired by japanese poetry dedicated to landscapes, nature and its atmosphere and it reflects the sound and mood of constantly flowing water. In the steadiness of the subtle wall of sound, I try to integrate and mix timbres of all of the instruments. This composition can be connected to ambiental sounds, to static structures, which are slowly fluctuating or evolving over time. It can be also connected to water flowing through the waterfall.

Andrzej Karalow - Luminous Gardens (2024) for vocal-instrumental ensemble and fixed electronics

Luminous Gardens is an ambient space in which the listener freely chooses the path, voices and layers to listen to. The structure of the composition consists of consonances, harmonic structures that shape the narration and segments of individual parts-sound gardens. The musical material consists of vocal-instrumental motifs separated by sections of silence and processed field recordings interspersed with pads recorded with the original Roland Juno-6 synthesizer.
Light, sound "organisms", space, reverberation - these are the main features that make up the sound environment of Luminous Gardens.
The composition was written for Hashtag Ensemble.

Sons Ethères: Quintet For Clarinets and Harps (Revised Ed.)

Debussy , Cathedral ( new version)

The yogi sat in prison and tried to tune himself to the "frequency" of the prison walls. Scientists tried to measure the vibrational frequency of his brain. If there is any sustainable development, it must be opening and movement, said yogi. Our 11-dimension knot of emotion resonates always in certain "point" of the "frequency band" of consciousness. That "point" is our reality tunnel with cave walls. Learning is to tune the own "frequency" with others tunnel: to be compassionate, open and curious with co-prisoners. Or to tune it for the escape. No frequency is better than other. They are just higher and lower. Low is good in its purpose. High is good in its purpose. Only thing not good is incapability to move between them under ones deepest will and love. To heal trauma is highest goal of being. (8.8.2020)
