Abstract

The repertoire on this recital illustrates and explores the physical and emotional voyage of one searching for his beloved. Romantic themes ??? love, pain, nature, and longing ??? as well as mythological symbols interweave throughout, unifying the six groups of music by creating connections that transcend vernacular boundaries. And though each group sojourns in a new language or place, the intent to find the beloved remains constant. (See more in text.)
