Alison Theme [ Orchestral ]

Written, Produced, Composed and Arranged by Jah-Femi Telewa 

Description of Glorious Father
Glorious Father is a serene and deeply spiritual duet that exalts Yahweh as the merciful Creator and Designer of life. With flowing poetic imagery, the lyrics liken natural elements—like raindrops and rainbows, thunder and memory—to divine alignment and grace. The recurring refrain emphasizes the comfort found in Yahweh’s mercy and the personal revelation of being the work of His mind.

The song unfolds as a prayerful reflection, where both male and female voices harmonize in reverence to the Glorious Father—portraying Him as both intimate and majestic in presence.

PROGRAM NOTE
For many years, my wife Victoria and her FAB5 quintet (string quartet and percussion), have entertained thousands of people at numerous performance spaces and travel hubs in New York City, including Moynihan Train Hall, Oculus World Trade Center, Javits Center, and Chelsea Market. Having seen many of their shows, especially those at travel hubs, there's a certain tension and release you experience watching people wait anxiously for their trains, and then the release they feel when they are finally on their way. I've had these experiences myself, so I wanted to create two pieces that emulate these feelings.

Wound Up/Unwind consists of two contrasting pieces for string quartet and percussion. The first, Wound Up, for string quartet and cajón, imitates the feeling of being worried, anxious, and frustrated, especially while waiting to board a train. The second, Unwind, for string quartet and handpan, is calm and soothing, perhaps emulating the satisfying feeling of relaxing in a quiet seat as the train leaves the station. Both pieces can be performed independently and in any order.

Wound Up/Unwind is written for and commissioned by the FAB5 quintet with support from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.

Ending Colors

This music is the soundtrack to the film "L'aranya teixeix llum" (The Spider Weaves the Light).

It is therefore advisable to watch the film directly on YouTube, as the images and music complement each other, forming a superior whole (unfortunately, SoundCloud does not allow films), so it is better to watch the film than just the music:

https://youtu.be/qCwEE9YSpgE?si=YLXvYaRxxbW1Uosd

This is a locally produced film centered on the Ripoll River, a small river that runs through the outskirts of Sabadell, a city near Barcelona (Spain). It is a short film (13') with a documentary approach but with a "artistic" style. We made it together with Nativitat Ayala and it is based on a poetic text written by her (with the same name as the film). She was primarily responsible for the plot idea and the script. I was in charge of the technical aspects (filming and editing) and, of course, also the musical composition.

The overall intention of this film was to highlight this river and its natural and wild environment, which is still preserved today and is currently in danger given the latest proposals to modify its industrial and tertiary uses by the City Council (which are not at all appreciated by most of the opposition and citizen movements).

Also, in the first part of the film, we sought to emphasize that the harsh conditions that the working women endured in the warehouses of the old factories of the last century are also part of the history of this river.

Thus, in this first part, we sought to create, both with the images and the music, a more somber and despondent atmosphere, which gradually transitions to greater luminosity and serenity, eventually achieving, in the final section, a liberating effect by showing that the natural and wild nature of the river ultimately prevails (at least for the time being). And all of this using a "poetic-artistic language" and modest and simple technical means.

Below are two PDF files, in English and Spanish, that explain the characteristics of the music:
