From the minimal and ethereal sound of the intro, it subtly transitions to a sense of awe at the astonishing majesty and multiplicity of creation. The Persian-influenced musical phrasing of Sami Yusuf’s vocalisations in the intro are inspired by the Daramad of Avaz-e dashti, a subgroup of the Shur dastgah, a Persian modal system evocative of a meditative state. Cappella Amsterdam sings quarter tones here and they do so brilliantly. The flamenco and Andalusian sounds of the Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra interplay with Western classical elements and the vibrant Arabic maqam Bayati. When the mode shifts to the passionate yearning of maqam Nahawand, its similarity to the Western classical minor scale brings an effortless resonance between the two. The outro joins Bayati and a harmonic minor scale in a multi-faceted, fiery expression of multiple, even contradictory states of being, while the vocalists insist, ‘Veritas’, ‘Veritas’ – Truth, Truth – and cast our focus beneath the turbulent surface storms to the calm depths below. • • CREDITS: • Composed and arranged by Sami Yusuf • Mode: Shur with allusions to Nahāwand • • Sami Yusuf Ensemble: • Sami Yusuf: Vocal • Ömer Avci: Bendir • Eyüpcan Açikpazu: Ney • Hasan Hekimoglu: Oud • Onur Cicin: Qanun • Guo Gan: Erhu • Seyyed Mohammad Jaberi: Daf • Huseyin Can Pala: Baglama • Mahyar Toreihi: Santoor • Jon Lawton: Guitar • • Cappella Amsterdam: • Soprano: Sanda Audere, Elisabeth Blom, Marijke van der Harst • Alto: Hebe de Champeaux, Irene Sorozabal, Inga Schneider • Tenor: Jon Etxabe Arzuaga, Jelle Leistra, Diederik Rooker • Bass: Jan Douwes, Angus van Grevenbroek, Johan Vermeer • Production: Francesca Thompson • • Follow Cappella Amsterdam: • / cappellaadam • / cappellaadam • / cappellaamsterdam • / cappellaamsterdam • Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2CxooGp • • The Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra: • Abderrahim Semlali: Violin • Jaafar Lougmani: Violin • Mohamed Al Mokhlis: Violin • Hessel Moeselaar: Viola • Hannelore de Vuyst: Violin • Haytam Safia: Oud • Marianne Noordink: Ney • Ruven Ruppik: Percussion • Khaili Ahmed: Percussion • Salah Mesbah: Vocals • Dwight Breinburg: Percussion,Vocals • Mohamed Chairi: Rabab,Vocals • Daniël van Huffelen: Double Bass • Ahmed el Maai: Qanun, Oud, Vocals • Follow The Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra on: • / amsterdamsandalusischorkest • / amsterdam_andalusian_orchestra • / amsterdamsandalusischorkest • Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2Bo7CZz • • Mixed and Mastered by Vishnu Rajan @ Andante Studios • Video Editing Postproduction by Omar Al-Balushi @ Andante Studios • ASTIANA: • Christine Höchstötter • Katherine O’Brien • Claire Mcrandal • Vishnu Rajan • Omar Al Balushi • Audio Editing Premixing: Omer Avci Erdem Altinses • Recording Engineer: Joost Dellebare • FOH Engineer: Sachin Savio • Scoring Assistants: Ruslan Salimov, Amin Ebrahimi • • Director: Henk van Engen • Assistant Director: Lieke van Zutphen • Producer Holland Festival: Rianne Super • Technical Producer: The Crew: Daan Kluin, Kaj de Groot, • Shading: Niels Hakkel, Ray van Verseveld • Technical Facilities: The Crew The Netherlands • 1st Camera: Job Scholtze • Camera: Ivo Borkus, Feline Potshuizen, Kees Patijn, Lars de Jong, Frits Schrijvers • Crane cam: Marjolein Hooting • Junior Cam: Lex Brouwer • Assistant Coordinator: Monica Hoogendoorn • Graphic Design Artwork: Mahdi Jahangir • Learn more: https://www.hollandfestival.nl • Published by Andante Records Administered by Fairwood Music (UK) Ltd for the World • © 2023 Andante Records.
