  • Sarod & Scheherazade
    NOTES ON THE PROGRAM BY LAURIE SHULMAN, ©2019 Sarod & Scheherazade ONE-MINUTE NOTES Amjad Ali Khan: Samaagam: A Concerto for Sarod, Concertante Group and String Orchestra Amjad Ali Kahn’s concerto fuses Northern Indian traditional instruments with a Western orchestra. Samaagam is Sanskrit for “flowing together,” an apt metaphor for Khan’s compelling concerto. He draws heavily on nearly a dozen ragas, the melodic building blocks of India’s classical music. Listen for drones and improvisatory passages that are cousins to jazz solos. Sarod, tabla and the NJSO’s principal string players all have their opportunity for exercising spontaneous musical creativity. Rimsky-Korsakov: Scheherazade Scheherazade features an obbligato role for our excellent concertmaster, Eric Wyrick. His recurring solo violin line represents the spellbinding voice of the Sultana as she relates the 1001 tales of the Arabian Nights, thereby staving off death by entertaining her husband. Scheherazade’s music is sinuous and seductive. The sultan’s theme, in the brasses, is barbaric, forceful and masculine. The writing is enchanting—a perfect blend of exoticism and impeccable orchestration. AMJAD ALI KHAN: Samagaam: A Concerto for Sarod, Concertante Group and String Orchestra AMJAD ALI KHAN Born: October 9, 1945, in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India Composed: 2008 World Premiere: June 20, 2008, in Kirkwall, Orkney Islands, Scotland NJSO Premiere: These are the NJSO-premiere performances. Duration: 45 minutes Amjad Ali Khan is arguably the most celebrated Indian classical musician since Ravi Shankar. His instrument, the sarod, is a cousin of the sitar. Both are members of the lute family: plucked string instruments with a hollow body.
