SUMMARY:The Atar Piano Trio Performs To the Bird From a Distant Land
DESCRIPTION:The Atar Trio\, led by pianist/arranger Ofer Shelley\, together with the sparkling soprano Tali Ketsef\, performs their program In the Pool with Bialik at Studio Annette in Tel Aviv. Born in Ukraine\, Chaim Nachman Bialik lived as a young man for some years in Odessa before eventually immigrating to Tel Aviv following sojourns in Poland and Germany. Writing in Yiddish and Hebrew\, and  considered by many to be Israel’s national poet\, Bialik’s emotional lyrics are suffused with longing. This program includes my commissioned trio To the Bird from a Distant Land\, a response to Bialik’s iconic poem To the Bird. The program includes a stellar lineup of settings of a number of Bialik’s poems by distinguished composers Josef Bardanashvili\, Tsippi Fleischer\, Aaron Harlap and Alex Wasserman\, among others\, and additional selections arranged by Ofer Shelley.

SUMMARY:Atar Trio Performs To the Bird From a Distant Land
DESCRIPTION:To the Bird from a Distant Land was commissioned by the Atar Piano Trio for their program celebrating the 150th anniversary of the birth of the great pet Chaim Nachman Bialik. I composed the piece in response to his poem To the Bird (El HaTzipor)\, written when Bialik was just 19 years old and had recently moved to Odessa. There is a strong undercurrent of homesickness for the Biblical Aretz Israel of his imagination. The poem is episodic – variously referring to Bialy’s imaging of the distant land in both its beauty and potential difficulties\, yet contrasting it again and again with his current situation. His ruminations move back and forth\, taking flight like the bird he calls to. My response became a song without words\, with the flight sometimes soaring\, while at others caught in the darker moods of Bialik’s imaginings before taking wing again.

SUMMARY:Weaver of Worlds\, a Video by Lydia Moyer and Judith Shatin
DESCRIPTION:Weaver of Worlds is a collaboration of video artist Lydia Moyer and composer Judith Shatin. Having previously collaborated on Civil War Memories\, Shatin approached Moyer about creating a video in partnership with her piece Hosech Al P’ney HaTehom (Darkness Upon the Face of the Deep). The music was crafted using direct digital synthesis – there are no samples;  rather sound was created from signal. The resulting music nonetheless has elements that feel recognizable: sonic lightning\, voices\, a world coming into being. The video footage was shot and processed by Moyer on analog VHS equipment. She digitally edited and upscaled it in response to Shatin’s music\, inspired by the story of Navajo weavers creating the world as they weave\, leaving imperfections so that spirit has an entry point.

SUMMARY:Saxophonist Jan Berry Baker and Percussionist Stuart Gerber Perform Of Wells & Springs
DESCRIPTION:Of Wells and Springs takes its title (and the spelling of drouth) from environmentalist Wendell Berry’s poem\, Water\, from his collection\, Farming: A Handbook. The poem tells of a terrible drouth\, of the narrator’s mother waiting for men to bring water from distant springs\, of his fear of recurring drouth and of his love of the water of ‘wells and springs.’ He closes the poem with the line ‘My sweetness is to wake in the night after days of dry heat\, hearing the rain.’ My music responds to the experiences that Berry conveys so vividly—the fear of drouth and its anguish\, the joy of rain and its sound\, adding the potential danger it carries. Of Wells & Springs was commissioned in consortium with the lead Bent Frequency Duo of saxophonist Jan Berry Baker and percussionist Stuart Gerber as well as saxophonists Nicole M. Roman\,  and Drew Whiting\, and percussionist/composer Kevin Norton

SUMMARY:Saxophonist Drew Whiting and Percussionist Alison Shaw Perform Of Wells and Springs
DESCRIPTION:Saxophonist Drew Whiting\, a member of the consortium that commissioned Of Wells and Springs will give his premiere of the piece with his colleague Alison Shaw on percussion on his faculty recital. The wide-ranging repertoire also includes music by Laura Schwendinger\, Kyong Mee Choi\, Alyssa Aska and Robin Heifetz. \nI have had the pleasure of collaborating with Drew on his beautiful recording of For the Fallen on his album In Lights Starkly Different\, and look forward to his and Alison’s interpretation of this new duet. The inspiration comes from Wendell Berry’s poem Water\, a deeply personal poem that welcomes rain in the face of drouth (in the early spelling of the word). As climate change continues to intensify\, the cycles of drouth and flood intensify\, and the joy of rain that nourishes all of us is ever more welcome.

SUMMARY:Saxophonist Jan Berry Baker & Percussionist Stuart Gerber  Perform Of Wells & Springs
DESCRIPTION:Of Wells and Springs takes its title (and the spelling of drouth) from environmentalist Wendell Berry’s poem\, Water\, from his collection\, Farming: A Handbook. The poem tells of a terrible drouth\, of the narrator’s mother waiting for men to bring water from distant springs\, of his fear of recurring drouth and of his love of the water of ‘wells and springs.’ He closes the poem with the line ‘My sweetness is to wake in the night after days of dry heat\, hearing the rain.’ My music responds to the experiences that Berry conveys so vividly—the fear of drouth and its anguish\, the joy of rain and its sound\, adding the potential danger it carries. Of Wells & Springs was commissioned in consortium with the lead Bent Frequency Duo of saxophonist Jan Berry Baker and percussionist Stuart Gerber as well as saxophonists Nicole M. Roman\,  and Drew Whiting\, and percussionist/composer Kevin Norton

SUMMARY:The Atar Trio Performs To the Bird from a Foreign Land
DESCRIPTION:The Atar Piano Trio and Soprano Tali Ketsef reprise their Bialik-themed concert at Tel Aviv University. Their commissioned piano trio\, To the Bird from a Distant Land\, was composed in response to Hayim Nahman Bialik’s iconic poem To the Bird (El HaTzipor). The poem\, composed when Bialik was just 19\, counterpoints his difficult situation in northern climes (Ukraine)\, with his imaginings of life in the land of Zion. The poem is episodic\, moving back and forth between these two places\, and between darkness and light. Yet\, he also questions whether life in this far-off land is as wonderful as his dreams of it. My response to the poem became a song without words\, with the flight of the bird sometimes soaring\, while at others caught in the darker moods of Bialik’s imaginings before taking wing again. In the end\, the bird and its flight came to represent the poet’s own flights of imagination.This program also features a beautiful assortment of music by Israeli composers\, includingEran El-Bar\, Aaron Harlap\,  Tzippi Fleischer and Alex Wasserman. \n
