about

Performed live on the 16th of November 2022 at Stadtgarten Köln /
Europäisches Zentrum für Jazz und aktuelle Musik, Cologne, Germany, as part of the series "In Between Spaces," curated by Thomas Gläßer and organized by Zentrum für Aktuelle Musik ZAM e.V.

Texts by Al-Hallaj, who was born March 26th, 858 AD (244 H.) in Fars, Persia, and was executed March 26th, 922 AD (309 H.) in Baghdad, Iraq. The name of the piece is taken from another Sufi poet and mystic, Jalal al-Din Muhammad Rumi (30 September 1207 - 17 December 1273, Persia). The poem is called "He who needs mercy finds it."

Rahma Quartet は、ドイツ、ミュンヘン在住のエジプト人アーティスト Rasha Ragab と同じくミュンヘン在住のドイツ人アーティスト Christoph Nicolaus.、ドイツ、ベルリン在住のアルゼンチン人木管楽器奏者 Lucio Capece とやはりベルリン在住のオーストリア人コントラバス奏者 Werner Dafeldecker という、国籍は違えど全員ドイツを拠点に活動する多国籍カルテット。

Rahma Quartet は2022年11月16日、ドイツ、ケルンでの "In Between Spaces" コンサート・シリーズで「Mercy is called down by Mercy to the last」を演奏。本CDにはこの演奏、39分の1曲を収録。 Rasha Ragab はテキストを朗読、ほかは Christoph Nicolaus がストーン・ハープ、Lucio Capece がバス・クラリネット、そして Werner Dafeldecker がコントラバスを演奏。Rasha Ragab は、ペルシャの神秘主義者アル＝ハッラージュ (西暦858年〜922年) の詩を朗読している。抑制の効いた演奏に中世イスラーム神秘家の詩の朗読が組み合わさって、通常の実験 / 即興演奏とは異なる趣に満ち、もちろん演奏も極上。
