Klaus Huber at Work

Music Documentary / 65 min / 2009
The film explores methods, motivation and inspiration behind Klaus Huber's work, showing the composer in action and interaction during the recording sessions of his piece "Die Seele muss vom Reittier steigen und geh'n auf ihren Seidenfüßen", based on fragments of a poem by Mahmoud Darwish. Composer and musicians give insight into elements of this composition, in particular the unusual intervallic language.

@COMPOSER32 do you have any suggested readings on Arabic music?

[COMPOSER32]

unfortunately this is full of ignorance of the Arabic culture. What was played on the Cello (in the form of a scale) was not maqam saba! Neither was maqam saba the notes which the Cello played earlier, why? Because maqam saba (like all maqamat) has a special sensation of performance in order to breathe with life! Western notation here can only create "saba" a la Western! Is19th cent. Exoticism still alive? Yes due to the continual ignorance of what the essence of Arabic music in reality is!
