Program Notes:
While composing ...of weaving the shadowed waves, I was fascinated by imaginary visual images of underwater waves interwoven with each other, thus creating ever-changing contours and curves. Simultaneously, the surroundings themselves—the water—were mostly peaceful in nature, dark-blue, mysterious, full of shadows, and reflections from above the surface. The two marimbas, with their mysterious, haunting yet dry tones, create these alternating waves—changing their intensity, direction, and their relation to the surrounding water. These waves often emerge from the depths and continue their movement above the surface. In turn, the surrounding water, or musically speaking, the orchestra, responds to the play of the waves—moving along with them, sometimes losing and gaining tranquility.
...of weaving the shadowed waves was commissioned in memory of Adele and John Gray for the America-Israel Cultural Foundation Gala concert on November 9, 2003, at Carnegie Hall. It was written for PercaDu—Adi Morag and Tomer Yariv, percussionists—and The Tel-Aviv Soloists Ensemble conducted by Barak Tal. With many thanks to Gideon Paz, who initiated the creation of this composition.
