The fluttering wings of love
6 Pieces after Bidel. 'The scents and colours of this garden pulse with love: Along with every rose, the nightingale's fluttering wing.' Bidel The title Par-feshani-ye 'Eshq (the fluttering wings of love) is taken from a text by the 18th century Sufi poet Bidel. Each brief movement takes a couplet from the poem as inspiration, drawing on an extraordinary array of images - clay pots on waterwheels, a nightingale's fluttering wings, weighty fetters? links, the world?s garden roses. The cycle is drawn together through the use of an Aghan-Indian rag (kaj dumi) which is heard in several guises- as bells, a nightingale?s song, a singer?s lament, and transformed into a gentle chorale. References to Stravinsky, Chopin and Berg, unusual in such a context, reflect other preoccupations during the composition of the work.
