Ensemble of the Lucerne Festival Contemporary Orchestra, cond. Rita Castro Blanco

Hochschule Luzern 28/08/21, Final Concert of the Composer Seminar

Tournesol (live)

Cynthia Garduño Meneses, Double Bass
Natalia Medina Levin, Piano

Milton Court Concert Hall, 19/03/24

In this piece the double bass and the piano constitute two perspectives of the same phenomenon. To consider two differing views at once is complex; instead attention shifts back and forth between them. In this way the instruments, with their specific characteristics, are interwoven.

text:

I Have A Garment

I have a garment. It is like a sieve
Used for sifting barley or wheat.
At the dead of night I spread it out like a tent
And the stars of heaven put through it their light. 
From within it I see the moon and the Pleiades, 
And, when it is bright, there peeps through Orion. 
I get tired from counting all its holes
Which seem like the teeth of a saw in profusion.
A piece of thread, to sew up its rags,
Both warp and woof, would be superfluous.
If a fly landed on it with all his weight,
He, like a fool, would soon grumble and curse.
My God, make good the repairs which it needs. 
Make a mantle of praise from these tattered weeds.
 ר׳ אַבְרָהָם בֶּן מֵאִיר אִבְּן עֶזְרָא 
إبراهيم ا لمجيد ابن عزرا
Abraham Ibn Ezra (1089-1167)
