Dauer ca. 7′30″

This work was especially arranged for Thomas Stumpf and Joanna Kurkowicz and was adapted from the second movement of my Violin Concerto No. 1. The inspiration comes from the melodic shapes and sentiments of the hymns and chants of the Syrian Orthodox Church. Though there is no direct reference to any particular hymn or chant in that repertoire, it is the formal structure and melodic contour from that tradition that provided inspiration for Hymn; especially in the opening and closing sections. The inner feelings of Hymn reflect on one aspect of the nature of faith, and how one holds on to it in a tumultuous world. This is reflected in the middle section where the piano‘s jagged rhythms attempt to throw off the steady pulses of the violin. Only faith in one‘s own inner rhythm can keep the violinist moving steadily forward. Kareem Roustom

Dieses Werk wurde speziell für Thomas Stumpf und Joanna Kurkowicz arrangiert und basiert auf dem zweiten Satz meines Violinkonzerts Nr. 1. Die Inspiration stammt aus den melodischen Formen und Empfindungen der Hymnen und Gesänge der syrisch-orthodoxen Kirche. Obwohl es keinen direkten Bezug zu einer bestimmten Hymne oder einem bestimmten Gesang aus diesem Repertoire gibt, waren es die formale Struktur und die melodische Kontur dieser Tradition, die die Inspiration für Hymn lieferten; insbesondere in den Eröffnungs- und Schlussabschnitten. Die inneren Gefühle von Hymn reflektieren einen Aspekt des Wesens des Glaubens und die Frage, wie man in einer turbulenten Welt daran festhält. Dies spiegelt sich im Mittelteil wider, wo die zerklüfteten Rhythmen des Klaviers versuchen, den gleichmäßigen Puls der Violine aus dem Takt zu bringen. Nur der Glaube an den eigenen inneren Rhythmus kann den Geiger dazu bringen, stetig voranzuschreiten. Kareem Roustom
