NOUR ensemble is trying to discover and recreate a musical aura shared by the East and the West, a common language which perhaps once existed in the history of music. Nour’s repertoire springs from sources in both traditions, Persian and European:
“Conductus” from the 13th century and melodies in “Nava” modality… Gregorian plainsong psalmody mixed with psalmody of tale from the Uraman region of Kurdistan… counter point created with melodies from Koran and Bible text sung together in their own style… Competition between Kurdish and Spanish choirs singing “cantigas” of “Alfonso X el Sabio”.
The musicians and singers are playing with the different colors and styles, as well as with the similarities of each musical tradition.
The Nour’s music is a melting pot where these ancient traditions and the creation of a contemporary repertoire interpreted by artists of the 21st century meet.
