PROGRAM NOTES & COMPOSER BIOS:
Eleanor Alberga
(b. 1949, Jamaican)
It's Time

Eleanor Alberga has often worked with dance troupes. That grounding in the ever-shifting drama of rhythm and movement never feels far away in It’s Time – inspired by a poem by Pushkin. Repeated bass figures conjure an immersive, enveloping mood of anticipation, even threat. If the hypnotic and drone-like rumbles and snarls low down hint at some variety of minimalism, ethereal, bell-like harmonies above sometimes conjure the soundscapes of Debussy or even Messiaen. -Boyd Tonkin
Aleksandr Pushkin
"It's Time, My Friend..."
It's time, my friend, it's time! The peace is craved by hearts...
Days flow after days -- each hour departs
A bit of life -- and both, you and I,
Plan a long life, but could abruptly die.
The world hasn't happiness, but there is freedom, peace.
And long have I daydreamed the life of bliss --
And long have planned, a tired slave, the flight
To the removed abode of labor and delight.

Kaikhosru Shapurji Sorabji
(1942-1988, English)
Nocturne: Djâmî
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaikhosru_Shapurji_Sorabji
http://www.sorabji-archive.co.uk/compositions/piece.php?pieceid=47
Sorabji wrote Djâmi in 1928;
it is the first of his works explicitly designated ‘nocturne’, a genre to which
he returned many times later in his career. It is also one of Sorabji’s first
works to explicitly evoke Persian culture, something that became increasingly
important to Sorabji not only as a source of inspiration for his music (evident
in compositions such as Gulistān and the Jāmī Symphony)
but as a means of discovering and engaging with his own cultural heritage as a
Parsi. Djâmi bears the following quotation from the poem Yusuf
and Zuleykhā by the poet Nuru’d-Dīn ‘Abdur-Rahmān Jāmī: “Be thou the
thrall of love; make this thine object; For this one thing seemeth to wise men
worthy. Be thou love’s thrall, that thou mayst win thy freedom, Bear on thy
breast its brand, that thou mayst blithe be. Love’s wine will warm thee and
will steal thy senses; All else is soulless stupor and self-seeking” (trans.
E.G. Browne).
