Program Notes — On the Thread Between Dusk and Dawn

A visionary triptych: twilight’s invocation, the liminal threshold of dawn, and the lunar rite of restoration.

Vision I — Le Souffle Écarlate · Ode to the Lady of Dendérah

Homage to Hathor, goddess of light, love, and transformation. The music breathes a scarlet invocation at day’s edge, where spiritual contemplation and cosmic symbolism converge in a rite of transfiguration.

Vision II — Sur le Fil de l’Aube · A Journey Between Worlds

The temple of dawn as cradle of light: Ra’s daily rebirth from the hidden Atum to the radiant disk. The work traces the sacred arc from obscurity to first light, inviting the listener to stand at the threshold of emergence.

“At its core lies the eternal human impulse to walk the line between known and unknown, between yesterday and tomorrow. This figure—the mediator standing at the convergence of opposites, holding the moment steady—becomes a symbol of us all, listening at the edge of the sacred.”

Vision III — Pêcheur aux filets d’argent · Fisherman with Silver Nets

Dedicated to Thoth, lunar scribe of time and wisdom, here envisioned as a fisherman casting nets of moonlight across the cosmic sea. Each phrase is a retrieval — the lost fragments of Osiris gathered toward renewal, the moon’s waxing as reunion.

“In silver filaments the soul’s fragments glimmer; music becomes the net that restores the world.”
