The solitary voice (1979, rev. 2008)

Rahilia Hasanova

for orchestra

ca. 12'00"

 

Everything in Life is Vibration (Albert Einstein). Everything has its own unique vibration, frequency, and sound. It means everything has a unique voice that is an expression of its vibrations and frequencies. Everything...snowflakes, crystals, flowers, take on their shapes according to their particular vibrations and responding to multiple vibrations, sounds, and voices of the universe. The universe is a choir of the myriad of voices. Each voice has to find the shape and expression to resonate with the universe. Each voice, if it is out of the connection with the choir of voices of the universe, is the solitary voice.

 

The Solitary Voice was premiered by the symphony orchestra of University of Maryland Baltimore County on November 22, 2015. Conductor: E.Michael Richards

I Hear (2010)

Rahilia Hasanova

for choir and chamber orchestra

ca. 7'00"

 

This music was inspired by a poem by Jamila Asgar:

 

 

The snow is painting white on gray,

The sky brings angels out to pray;

The snow is painting white on brown,

The sky is gently falling down.

I hear the whispers in the play,

I hear the sweetest ever sound,

As sky is falling gently down,

The snow brings angels' prayers today.

Extinct Volcanoes (2018)

Rahilia Hasanova

for double bass and piano

ca. 15'00"

 

Scientists considered extinct volcanoes as cold, dead volcanoes because centuries beneath them there is no underground activity. They would be ones that nobody expects to ever erupt again. But new research turned all these definitions upside-down: extinct volcanoes are waking up. Getting hotter, they finally would be ready to burst out. There have already been a number of eruptions from extinct volcanoes. Yes, volcanoes thought to be dead have erupted or have visible signs of geological changes all around the world: Yellowstone, Yosemite, Campi Flegrei, Changbaishan, Krakatoa, Popokatepetl, Eyjafjallajokull... Extinct volcanoes break silence. Maybe the Earth has something to tell us?
