Bzw. ۲ ۴ ۰ [»Come Unto These Yellow Sands« for 2 Voices, Flute, Violin and Piano (2000), R. A. ol-Omoum]




["Water Inspiration #35", Lorena Kirk-Giannoulis]



You are water
I’m water
we’re all water in different containers
that’s why it’s so easy to meet
someday we’ll evaporate together.
[Yoko Ono]




["Water", Lorena Kirk-Giannoulis]



The sound of water is worth more than all the poets' words.
[Octavio Paz]




["Water Inspiration #7", Lorena Kirk-Giannoulis]


Come unto these yellow sands,
And then take hands.
Curtsied when you have and kissed
The wild waves whist,
Foot is featly here and there;
And, sweet sprites, the burden bear.
[William Shakespeare
»The Tempest«,
Ariel's Song, Scene II, Act I]












O, brave new world
that has such people in't!
[William Shakespeare
»The Tempest«]




["Water Inspiration #11", Lorena Kirk-Giannoulis]



In rivers, the water that you touch is the last of what has passed
and the first of that which comes; so with present time.
[Leonardo da Vinci]




["Water Inspiration #4", Lorena Kirk-Giannoulis]



In the visible world, the Milky Way is a tiny fragment; within this fragment, the solar system is an infinitesimal speck, and of this speck our planet is a microscopic dot. On this dot, tiny lumps of impure carbon and water, of complicated structure, with somewhat unusual physical and chemical properties, crawl about for a few years, until they are dissolved again into the elements of which they are compounded. [Bertrand Russell]

Bzw. ۲ ۳ ۹ [»Ité« for Violin and Organ (1994), R. A. ol-Omoum. - Inspired by Eric Allan Dolphy]




["Revelation of the Goddess", Lorena Kirk-Giannoulis]







When you hear music,
after it's over,
it's gone in the air.
You can never capture it again.
[Eric Allan Dolphy]




["After The Rain", Lorena Kirk-Giannoulis]




Music should go right through you,
leave some of itself inside you,
and take some of you with it when it leaves.
[Henry Threadgill]





["A Single Branch", Lorena Kirk-Giannoulis]



We in the Western world suffer from too many categories and classes;
we’ve forgotten that we all still have diapers on.
We’ve separated music from life.
[Ornette Coleman]
























Listening is more important than anything else because that's what music is.
Somebody is playing something and you're receiving it.
It is sending and receiving.
[Carla Bley]



["Composition", Lorena Kirk-Giannoulis]


I don’t believe in categories of any kind, and when you speak of problems between blacks and whites in the U.S.A. you are referring to categories again.
[Duke Ellington]




["Nature", Lorena Kirk-Giannoulis]


What is music to you? What would you be without music? Music is everything. Nature is music (cicadas in the tropical night). The sea is music, the wind is music. The rain drumming on the roof and the storm raging in the sky are music. Music is the oldest entity. The scope of music is immense and infinite. It is the ‘esperanto’ of the world. [Duke Ellington]
