Music for the Morning of the World
A contemplative work with ecstatic outbursts, R. Murray Schafer’s Music for the Morning of the World is based on texts from various poems and discourses by Jahal-al-Din Rumi (13th-century Persian poet, jurist, theologian). It takes the form of an extended meditation for solo voice, surrounded by a four-track electronic accompaniment.

This concert forms part of a year-long celebration of the 75th birthday of one of Canada’s foremost living composers.
