The Conference of the Birds
The Conference of the Birds
From the liner notes: The Conference of the Birds is a Sufi poem composed in twelfth-century Persia. Written by Farid Ud-Din Attar, this highly transformative allegorical poem describes the mystical path to enlightenment--what the Sufis define as “the passionate union of an individual soul with the Divine.” Various types of birds are used to describe archetypal human personality traits and their journey to discover a mythical being, the Simirgh (God), metaphorically unfolds the various stages of the spiritual quest. This, the eponymous through-composed piece is scored for a quintet: a traditional string quartet with the addition of an oboe, and is in three movements. While the entirety of the poem is many stanzas and a multitude of sections in length, a few selections were chosen as foci of Inspiration, with the work as a whole serving as a loose framework for both meditation and musical ideas.
