Seif, S :: Wadi Qadisha
Publisher: Tetractys Publishing
Tetractys Publishing presents 'Wadi Qadisha' for flute ensemble by composer Sami Seif.
The composer writes about this piece, ''Wadi Qadisha' ('Holy Valley' in Aramaic) is inspired by the otherworldly beauty of the eponymous UNESCO World Heritage Site in Lebanon. The Holy Valley is near the Forest of the Cedars of Lebanon, also known as the Cedars of God. The piece includes extended techniques that I have previously employed, namely in my solo flute piece 'Miniatures from Phoenicia.'
'The texture of 'Wadi Qadisha' is made up of a collection of various composed Lebanese folksongs superimposed on top of each other. The melodies operate at various speeds, creating a temporal counterpoint in addition to the melodic one. The various time-layers represent the longevity and historical depth of the Holy Valley.
'As such, the music will be imprinted with the melodic content derived from the land of the Holy Valley. If we accept that culture is inseparable form its geography, then my piece is made form the matter of the Holy Valley.'
