My composition Sema'a, for the large ensemble, is not an illustration of dancing dervishes. Sema'a is my thoughts about the mankind circling destiny, about the motivation of the nature to create, variate, and circle forms and circumstances again and again. Sema'a is my pray for humanity and my hope.
Sema'a was commissioned by the Nieuw Ensemble, the Netherlands and premiered in Amsterdam, Utrecht, and Hague in 1994. Conductor: Ed Spanjaard
