Slow scene, usually repeated at every moment and connected with any kind of a massacre in the Middle East or anywhere in the world.
Always we see the same scene of ambulances collects scattered Corpses in various parts. this scene always telling us about a tragedy, telling us about the strength of the human suffering from the war scourge, it always reaffirms and confirm that the war mean's nothing but the life itself.
·      2nd. Movement
Allegro Agitato
Flash Back
As events rapidly with the disasters, second movement tells us the story of the strong warrior, the person who always gives the order, to let the war starts, although it was always a tongue's dance, but it's always like an ugly dance, the dance, which kills a thousand of innocents.
The dance transited from tongue's movement, to be the dance of the death, which has effected to escape the soul from the live human ground objects

Hamza el Din - Escalay: The Waterwheel - for String Quartet
Performed by: Berneck Quartet - January 2012 - Switzerland (Charity Concert)
Violin: Lyonel Schmit, Christop Brüggemann
Viola: David Quiggle Cello: Viturin Döring

Water Wheel is a complete description of the experience of the boy who keeps the water wheel going. He rises early, before dawn, and begins, sleepily, to hitch up the oxen, adjusting the tension so that both animals are pulling equal weight. As the wheel slowly begins to move, the huge wooden gears of the wheel creak and groan. Gradually, lulled by the warmth of the morning sun, the movement and the sound of the wheel, the boy tending the oxen begins to hum to himself. As the wheel turns more quickly and strongly, he begins singing more loudly, merging the sound of his own voice with that of the wooden gears. Eventually even his song is lost in the drone of the wheel. One gear, like one note, meshes with the other gears, and increasingly complex overtones develop like the movements of a great fugue. And the fugue grows, like waves from a pebble dropped into the water. The waves move out, touch the shore and return, making new waves until all the water is ruffled and moving. Soon the boy sitting on the water wheel becomes entranced, hypnotized by the insistent song of the wheel and he sits staring vacantly into space, only awakened from his trance by someone calling to him to keep the animals moving. In this work, Hamza El Din demonstrates clearly his mastery of the oud and his innovations in the use of this instrument. Note especially that while he plucks the bass string continually in one rhythm, he hammers with the left hand on two other strings, and uses alternatively the remaining strings to set the pattern of the melody against the other rhythms. This creates a harmonic whole, which describes perfectly in musical terms the hypnotic humming of the water wheel.

Hamza El Din war ein nubischer Oud- und Tar-Spieler und Sänger. Er wuchs im nubischen Teil Ägyptens unter dem Eindruck traditioneller nubischer Musik auf. El Din studierte an der König-Fouad-Universität in Kairo und am Musikinstitut des Ibrahim Shafiq. Am König-Fouad-Institut für mittelöstliche Musik erlernte er das Oud-Spiel, danach studierte er westliche Musik an der Accademia di St. Cecilia in Rom. Anfang der 1960er Jahre unternahm er erste Konzertreisen durch die USA, wohin er 1964, nachdem sein Heimatort in den Fluten des Assuan-Staudamms versunken war, übersiedelte. Hier entstanden Alben wie Escalay: The Water Wheel (Wasserrad), das als Schlüsselwerk der World Music gilt und Einfluss auf Komponisten wie Steve Reich und Terry Riley hatte.

Wasserrad ist eine komplette Beschreibung der Erfahrung des Jungen, der das Wasser Rad in Bewegung haelt. Er steht frühr auf, vor Sonnenaufgang, und beginnt, noch halb schlafend, die Ochsen anzuspannen, die Spannung zu pruefen, damit beide Ochsen mit demselben Gewicht ziehen. Während das Rad langsam beginnt sich zu drehen, das Riesen Getriebe des Holzrades beginnt zu ächzen und zu stöhnen. Sich um die Ochsen kümmernd, geborgen in der aufgehenden Morgensonne, und dem Klang des sich Bewegenden Rades, beginnt der Junge langsam zu summen. Mit steigender Geschwindigkeit des Rades singt der Junge lauter und lauter, seine Stimme mit dem Klang des hölzernen Getriebes zusammenkommend. Manchmal geht seine Stimme im rhythmischen Geräusch des Wasserrades unter.

Die Komposition wurde für die Oud, ein mittelöstliches, langhalsiges Saiteninstrument - Vorgänger der europäischen Laute - geschrieben und aufgenommen. 1992 wurde die Tondichtung für das Kronosquartett adaptiert.
