St Ethelburga’s Presents:

THE ZIGGURAT BUILDERS

A programme exploring the music of the voice and the ‘Ūd from medieval to contemporary sounds, culminating in a new composition by Marcus Davidson for three voices, ‘Ud and cello.

The Ziggurat Builders, a new composition for Voice, ‘Ūd and Cello has been supported by PRS for Music Foundation. The title and libretto are taken from an existing poem by the late Iraqi Assyrian poet Sargon Boulus (1944-2007) translated from Arabic into English by the Author. The work draws on the unique sounds and individual qualities of ‘Voice’ and Khyam Allami exploring the meeting of performing traditions from the east and west, creating a new sound source for the, as yet, unexplored combination of ‘ūd, voice and cello.
