Simurgh - Quintet : for 2 violins, viola, cello and piano / Victoria Poleva

Toelichting:
This work is inspired by a Sufi poem of Farīd ud-Dīn Attār « The Conference of the Birds « (Manteq al-Tayr, XIII century). In the poem Attar the birds of the world set forth in search of their king, Simurgh,to escape from the suffering of life. Passing the seven valleys (seven steps towards improving), passing many trials, the birds reach the abode of Simurgh - where each bird in each rose, as if in a mirror, sees his own reflection, so they discover that Simurgh - it is they themselves («simurgh « in farsi means «30 birds» (si – thirty, murgh – bird). Simurgh, thus, could be interpreted as a symbol of true unity.
“Simurgh – quintet” organized by the interaction of pair of antinomies: psalmodic speech (piano) and choral singing (strings), by their functional separation at the beginning, rotation, intertransitions and the transformation in the unity in the final.
The dramaturgy of the piece is a long way through the images of soaring feather, the movement of the wings, whisper, placer sparks, which suddenly end with the singing of fiery Simurgh. Musical material of quintet has a hidden inner text and comes from Orthodox practice of prayer.
