Chorale Fantasy.MUS MOHAMMED FAIROUZ CHORALE FANTASY for String Quartet MOHAMMED FAIROUZ CHORALE FANTASY for String Quartet Chorale Fantasy was written in response to the Borromeo String Quartet’s initiative to com- mission a set of chorale preludes. This short work lives in the world between maqam (Arabic modes) and gentle counterpoint. It opens with a short introduction leading to a violin line with unheard lyrics against an insisting drone. It then conspires into a whirling dance reaching a vocal climax and returns at the end to the gentleness of the opening. All of the parts of Chorale Fantasy are written within the singing range of the human voice. The work is affectionately dedicated to the Borromeo Quartet. —Mohammed Fairouz Chorale Fantasy is recorded on "Native Informant," Naxos American Classics CD 8.559744, performed by the Borromeo String Quartet. Mohammed Fairouz, born in 1985, is one of the most frequently performed, commissioned, and recorded composers of his generation. Hailed by The New York Times as “an important new artistic voice” and by BBC World News as “one of the most talented composers of his generation,” Fairouz melds Middle-Eastern modes and Western structures to deeply expressive effect. His large-scale works, including four symphonies and an opera, engage major geopolitical and philosophical themes with persuasive craft and a marked seriousness of purpose. His solo and chamber music attains an “intoxicating intimacy,” according to New York’s WQXR. A truly cosmopolitan voice, Fairouz had a transatlantic upbringing. By his early teens, the Arab- American composer had traveled across five continents, immersing himself in the musical life of his surroundings. Prominent advocates of his instrumental music include the Borromeo and Lydian String Quartets, the Imani Winds, The Knights Chamber Orchestra, Metropolis Ensemble, violinists Rachel Barton Pine and James Buswell, clarinetist David Krakauer, and conductors Gunther Schuller, Fawzi Haimor, and Yoon Jae Lee. He has been recognized as an “expert in vocal writing” by the New Yorker magazine and as a “post-millennial Schubert” by Gramophone Magazine. Among the eminent singers that have promoted his wealth of vocal music are Kate Lindsey, Sasha Cooke, Lucy Shelton, D’Anna Fortunato, David Kravitz and Randall Scarlata. Commissions have come from the Borromeo Quartet, Imani Winds, New York Festival of Song, Da Capo Chamber Players, New Juilliard Ensemble, Cantus Vocal Ensemble, Cygnus Ensemble, Counter)induction, Alea III, Musicians for Harmony, and many others. Recordings of his music are available on the Naxos, Bridge, Dorian Sono Luminus, Cedille, Albany, GM/Living Archive, and GPR labels. Mohammed Fairouz is the subject of a documentary by BBC World Service TV, has been featured on NPR’s All Things Considered and BBC/PRI’s The World, and has been profiled in Symphony, Strings, New Music Box, and the Houston Chronicle, among others. His principal teachers in composition have included György Ligeti, Gunther Schuller, and Richard Danielpour, with studies at the Curtis Institute and New England Conservatory. His works are published by Peermusic Classical. He lives in New York City. for the Borromeo String Quartet Chorale Fantasy Mohammed Fairouz (2010) 92 q Violin 1 bœ œ # œ œ œ œ. œ œ & 4 ∑ œ œ œ œ J œ œ p Violin 2 - - - - & 4 ∑ œ œ w w w p Viola B 4 œ. œ ŒŒ œ. j œ œ 4 œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ p J œ w œ œ œ Violoncello ? 4 4 ∑ ∑ œ œ b œ Nœ w p 6 U œ œ.

  • Mohammed Fairouz: an Appreciation by Rick Schultz
    Artist Biographies & Liner Notes “Zabur” Indianapolis Symphonic Choir Mohammed Fairouz: An Appreciation by Rick Schultz Zabur is Mohammed Fairouz's first oratorio, a genre for large orchestra, choir and soloists going back centuries. Such rich musical soil allows Fairouz to create a sacred dialogue -- a dialogue not just between characters, but also between the artist and his listeners. From its powerful choral opening, Zabur doesn't let up, placing us directly into a theater of war where a city is under siege. Like one of his literary predecessors, English poet William Blake, Fairouz rages against those "who would if they could, for ever depress Mental & prolong Corporeal War." Fairouz, an Emirati-American composer, once characterized himself as a "creature of the desert," referring to his deep Middle Eastern roots. Dry desert winds often drift across his emotionally resonant musical landscapes. But Fairouz, one of our country's most essential storytellers, isn't out to lecture anyone. His mission, if he has one, is to beautify the world -- to create art as a counterforce to dehumanization, as a bridge to our universal past. One of Fairouz's most aching and ravishing scores, Zabur conjures a timeless world in song settings of epic grandeur and shattering intimacy. Like his Symphony No. 3 ("Poems and Prayers"), Zabur becomes an enticement to feel. By revealing our shared emotions and experiences, Fairouz allows us to recharge our humanity amid a surfeit of numbing images of disaster and atrocity. At the conclusion of "Poems and Prayers," Fairouz sets Yehuda Amichai's poem "Memorial Day for the War Dead," in which the poet hopes that behind so much sorrow, "some great happiness is hiding." Paradoxically, what makes Zabur such a compelling war requiem is its optimism.

Marius Constant) Le tombeau de Couperin • La valse Maurice Ravel’s Valses nobles et sentimentales present a vivid mixture of atmospheric impressionism, intense expression and modernist wit, his fascination with the waltz further explored in La valse, a mysterious evocation of a vanished imperial epoch. Heard here in an orchestration by Marius Constant, Gaspard de la nuit is Ravel’s response to the other-worldly poems of Aloysius Bertrand, and the dance suite Le tombeau de Couperin is a tribute to friends who fell in the war of 1914-18 as well as a great 18th century musical forbear. ‘It is a delightful and assorted collection… presented in splendid performances by the Orchestre National de Lyon led by their music director, the venerable American conductor Leonard Slatkin.’ (Classical.net / Volume 1, 8.572887) Volume 1 of this series of Ravel’s orchestral music (8.572887 and NBD0030) has proved an immediate hit and has been warmly received by the press. Gramophone admired Leonard Slatkin’s ‘affinity with [Ravel’s] particular world of sound’, and of the Orchestre National de Lyon, stated that ‘it augurs well as a companion to the orchestra’s Debussy set 8.572888 Playing Time: 66:39 under Jun Märkl.’ The Blu-ray version provides a spectacular alternative to CD, ‘the orchestral colors… are beautifully realized by Slatkin and his forces, and well-preserved in either hi-res format’ (Audiophile Audition 7 47313 28887 8 5-star review).

Retrieved from https://ro.ecu.edu.au/soundscripts/vol6/iss1/18 This Refereed Article is posted at Research Online. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/soundscripts/vol6/iss1/18 Sun: Art as Truth: The Post-Truth Reception of Hamilton (2015) and The Art As Truth: The Post-Truth Reception of Hamilton (2015) and The New Prince (2017) by Cecilia Sun The University of West Australia Abstract: This paper examines the reception of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s musical Hamilton (2015) and Mohammed Fairouz’s “operatic revue” The New Prince (2017) within the context of post-truth identity politics. Neither of these stage works aimed for historical accuracy—Hamilton famously uses a racially diverse cast and relies on vernacular 20th- and 21st-century music styles, while The New Prince displays an eclectic musical language and mixes historical figures from incongruous times and places. And yet, both pieces were embraced by critics and audiences as powerful and truthful statements about the nature of power in the era of Brexit and Trump. When the Oxford Dictionaries selected “post-truth” as its word of the year in 2016, their definition juxtaposed “objective facts” on the one hand with “emotion and personal belief” on the other.1 The latter can now sway public opinion, even when contradicted by the former.
