Drora's playing, which has both a lot of conviction and a lot of love, significantly influenced the formation of the backdrop for the composition of the piece.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align:left;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:\r\nembed\" class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif\">During our encounters Drora performed for me on all types of recorders and played CDs with a rich selection of recorder repertoire from the Middle Ages to this day. Slowly I became aware of the fact that I had been offered a gateway into a rich and fascinating world with roots going back as far as ancient days of magic spells and witchcraft.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align:left;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:\r\nembed\" class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif\">It was only natural that Drora's intimate and introverted playing, along with the subtle spark of her virtuosity, found a path into my heart when I came to express in music the lover\u2019s longing words to the mystical beloved lady of the Song of Songs.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align:left;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:\r\nembed\" class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif\">For the musical language I chose the model of a single romantic movement piece written in free style and making use of transparent textures.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align:left;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:\r\nembed\" class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif\">I would like to note two musical influences that made essential contribution to the timbre of this piece: the first is Celtic music, where the recorder plays a significant and highly respected role. The freedom and large expanses of the piece are influenced by this direction. The second influence is east-European cantorial music. Something in the longing and melancholy of that music found its way into this piece. I hope you will like it.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align:left;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:\r\nembed\" class=\"MsoNormal\"><\/p><p style=\"text-align:left;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:\r\nembed\" class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif\">Eyal Bat<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align:left;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:\r\nembed\" class=\"MsoNormal\"><\/p>"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
