Description:
A fascination with polycultural synergy between diverse literary texts drives the inspiration for much of Mohammed Fairouz's prodigious creative output; including instrumental music as well as vocal. In his profound and extensive essay preceding the score; Fairouz sheds light on how Edgar Allen Poe's 'Israfel' relates to the prophets and prophesies of the Quran; Old Testament; and New Testament. The eight-movement quartet may be heard as a dramatic gallery of portraits and of story-telling; flourishing in a post-traditional language that is at once vernacular and spiritual; Middle Eastern and Western. The complete set of score and parts is included in this publication.
