My aim in writing the works was to show the deep interconnections between the two faiths, which is evident from their sharing of harmonic modes (the maqamat). My original idea was always that they could be played together as a single 40' work, as they both start and end with breath (bow on wood) and were designed to be interconnected. Given the current state of the world, I strongly believe that speaking openly about role of music as inter-connector and a shared cultural heritage is an conversation to be having at the moment.<a href="https://nickrothmusic.com/nrm/index.asp" title="https://nickrothmusic.com/nrm/index.asp" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">nickrothmusic.com</a>photo, Tony Carragher
