Program Notes:
In Arabesque, I was exploring and developing a few tangled motives which echo imaginary shepherd songs and interwoven Middle-Eastern melodies typically played on the local Ney Flute. With characteristic Baroque instrumentation, I tried to give the medium a different, more contemporary yet ethnic view.
Arabesque was generously commissioned in memory of Adele and John Gray.

ABOUT RECORDER, CELLO AND HARPSICHORD TRIO
The contemporary repertoire for recorder, cello, and harpsichord trio is a fascinating blend of historical and modern influences. One notable piece is "Arabesque" by Lior Navok, composed in 2005. This work combines Baroque instrumentation with contemporary and Middle-Eastern influences, creating a unique and innovative fusion of styles. The piece features an alto recorder, baroque cello, and harpsichord, and explores themes of shepherd songs and ethnic melodies. This trio offers a refreshing take on traditional Baroque music, making it an exciting addition to the modern chamber music repertoire.
