Glenn Buhr Ananda, from The Cycle of Spring, 1989 Commissioned by: Kitchener-Waterloo Philharmonic Choir “When I began university studies in 1974, I took some courses in East Indian music performance, and though I didn’t understand the aesthetic of the music at the time, I was quite keen on the sound. Later, when I was working on The Cycle of Spring in 1988 I became fascinated by this music again through my new interest in ancient Sanskrit theatre. The whole principle behind this tradition is the importance of the emotional state of the audience during the performance and that’s something that I’ve become conscious of in my own work. “From joy does spring all this creation, / By joy is it maintained, / Towards joy does it progress, / And into joy does it enter.”
Glenn Buhr Ananda, from The Cycle of Spring, 1989 Commandée par : Chœur philharmonique de Kitchener-Waterloo « Quand j’ai commencé mes études universitaires en 1974, j’ai pris quelques cours sur l’exécution de la musique de l’Inde orientale, quoique à cette époque je ne comprisse pas trop l’esthétique de cette musique, j’étais d’emblée intrigué par le son. Plus tard, en 1981, lorsque je travaillais sur The Cycle of Spring, j’étais devenu fasciné par cette musique en découvrant le théâtre Sanskrit. Le principe derrière cette tradition met en relief l’importance de l’état émotionnel du public lors d’une performance et c’est ce dont je suis très conscient dans mon propre travail. « De la joie, ne ressort-il pas toute cette création, / Par la joie, n’est-il pas soutenu, / Vers la joie ne progresse-t-il pas, / Et dans la joie ne rentre-t-il pas. »
