![]() "Liza Lim...with a very special and astute understanding of her own human micro-cosmos, extrapolates it to a wider, more dramatic macro-cosmos. The understanding of this relationship - the bitter-sweet relationship between humanity and the Divine - is focused and given expression in three orchestral works that are inspired by meditations on the Sufi poetry of Persia and also explorations of Aboriginal rites of passage."-Raul da Gama The CD of my orchestral works is finally officially out on Hat Art and offers perhaps a less well-known view of my work. It includes "The Compass" for orchestra with solo parts for flute and didgeridoo, co-commissioned by the Sydney Symphony and the Bavarian Radio Orchestra; "Pearl, Ochre, Hair String" for orchestra which features a solo 'cello using a guiro bow (based in part on Invisibility) which was commissioned through the Ian Potter Foundation for the Bavarian Radio Orchestra and the West Australian Symphony Orchestra, and "The Guest" written for recorder soloist Jeremias Schwarzer and the SWR Sinfonieorchester Baden-Baden & Freiburg. This final piece is somewhat on my mind as it was commissioned by Armin Koehler, the former director of the Donaueschinger Musiktage who sadly passed away just last week. The piece itself was written in memory of a dear family friend and in the preface to the score I included some lines about the transition from life to death written by the beloved poet Mevlana Jelaluddin Rumi: You look down ![]() The Squid's Ear! ![]() Compositional Forms Hat Art |
