Program Notes
Sihr Khalaq
Sih'r Khalaq explores the world of Arabic rhythm, textures, and style in the interest of global fusion. The phrase “sih'r khalaq” describes the kind of magic that exists in art - magic that transforms and grows, and permeates the soul. It literally means “creative magic.”
Kaval Sviri
Kafal sviri, mamo, gore dole, mamo, pod seloto.
A kaval plays, mother, up there, down there, mother below the village
Ya shte ida, mamo, da go vida, mamo, da go chuya.
I am going to see it, mother, to see it and hear it.
Ako mi e nashencheto, she go lyuba den doplane, ako mi e yabandjiiche,
If he is one of ours, I will love him from dawn till dusk,
shte go lyuba dor do jivot.
I will love him all my life.
Ave Maria
Ave Maria, gratia plena:
Hail, Mary, full of grace:
Dominus tecum,
the Lord is with you,
benedicta tu in mulieribus
blessed are you among women
et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Iesus.
and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
Santa Maria, Mater Dei,
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
ora pro nobis peccatoribus
pray for us sinners
nunc et in hora mortis nostrae. Amen.
now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
