| Program Notes | For Meira Warshauer the goal of Beyond the Horizon is "to create a 'soundscape' which will enable us all to express our individual and collective visions for the future and to infuse the present with this vision, an invitation to imagine a more perfect world." The orchestra will play the three-minute composition twice, the first performance being for the listener to absorb as a meditation. Warshauer invites listeners to close their eyes and experience the sound vibrations in their body as well as their mind. "Let any emotions surface which are awakened. Concentrate on your own longings for goodness and wholeness in the world." In the second performance listeners are encouraged to actively participate in the music. "This time stand comfortably and allow your longings to take expression through your voice. Hum or sustain any vowel on any pitch which resonates in you. Do not try to sing along with the orchestra or your neighbor. All the sounds will blend. The important thing is to put your feelings, your own personal desires for wholeness and peace, into your voice. Support the sound with your breath. Feel free." |
