Oorspronklik

In the Fire of Conflict composed by Christos Hatzis. 1953-. For solo percussion. Score, part, audio CD and data CD. 37 pages. Published by Promethean Editions. PO.PE108. ISBN 978-1-877218-99-6. I. Rescue Me. II. I Call Your Name. In the Fire of Conflict is named after the theme for the 2008 Toronto Summer Music Festival for which it was composed. Set in two continuous movements, the live percussion part is performed with the rap music in the digital audio part, sourced from American rapper Steve Henry a. 'Bugsy H.', of the Christian rap group Poetik Disciples. The live percussion weaves constantly around the rap lyrics, often drawing melodic contours from the prosodic contours of the spoken text. Reflecting on this commission, the composer writes. 'I was becoming very concerned with the rise of gun violence in recent years in Toronto, my home city, but also with the constant rise of violence around the world in either organized conflicts, such as war, or spontaneous eruptions, exacerbated no doubt by food shortages, global warming and demographic explosion particularly in areas where daily survival is most difficult, and by the diminishing hope among the majority of people alive today that our current way of life can continue in its present form indefinitely. 'Although my own spiritual focus has always been on the incoming Aquarian eon, expected to be an eon of peace and spiritual enlightenment, I am also aware of the fact that we are still in the closing years of the Piscean age, the age of enantiodromia or conflict according to Carl Jung. that things will get worse before they get betterâmuch worse. that there will come a time soon when our faith in God will be the only life vest that will protect us from drowning spiritually in the vast sea of hopelessness that surrounds us already. This is the story I wanted to tell through this work, but I wanted to say it not from the vantage point of spiritual certainty, but from the impenetrable darkness of someone struggling to stay afloat amidst this sea of hopelessness. As I was trying to determine how to enter and understand this state of mind, I remembered a visitor to my MySpace site a few months earlier, a American Christian rap group called Poetik Disciples. 'I have always been fascinated by the prosodic rhythmic discourse of hip-hop music, but certainly not by its implicit endorsement of misogyny and violence that one so often encounters in hip-hop lyrics. Poetik Disciples used the same musical techniques to essentially create devotional songs and that was very inspirational to me. I contacted the leader of the group, Steve Henry, who, as it turned out, had experienced personally the "bottom of the well" by way of gang violence, loss and incarceration, and asked him if he could help me with this project. A few days later he sent me some rap tracks which he created for this specific project and I knew then that my work would be very much emanating from his specific material which has been incorporated into the accompanying audio playback component of the piece.

ISBN 978-1-877218-99-6. I. Rescue Me. II. Ek bel jou Naam. In die vuur van Konflik is vernoem na die tema vir die 2008 Toronto Summer Music Festival waarvoor dit saamgestel. Stel in twee deurlopende bewegings, is die lewendige perkussie deel gedoen met die rap musiek in die digitale klank deel, afkomstig van die Amerikaanse rapper Steve Henry 'n. 'Bugsy H. "van die Christelike rap groep Poetik Dissipels. Die live perkussie weef voortdurend om die rap lyrics, trek dikwels melodiese kontoere van die prosodisch kontoere van die gesproke teks. Besin oor hierdie kommissie, die komponis skryf. "Ek is besig om baie bekommerd oor die styging van die geweer geweld in die afgelope jaar in Toronto, my huis stad nie, maar ook met die konstante styging van geweld in die wêreld in óf georganiseerde konflikte, soos oorlog, of spontane uitbarstings, vererger geen twyfel deur voedseltekorte, aardverwarming en demografiese ontploffing veral in gebiede waar die daaglikse oorlewing is baie moeilik en deur die dalende hoop onder die meerderheid van die mense wat vandag leef dat ons huidige manier van lewe kan voortgaan in sy huidige vorm onbepaald. 'Hoewel my eie geestelike fokus was nog altyd op die inkomende Aquarian Eon, verwag 'n Eon van vrede en geestelike verligting te wees, ek is ook bewus van die feit dat ons nog in die laaste jare van die Piscean ouderdom, die ouderdom van enantiodromia of konflik volgens Carl Jung. dat dinge sal net erger word voordat hulle kry betterâmuch erger. dat daar sal 'n tyd kom binnekort, wanneer ons geloof in God sal die enigste lewe frokkie wat ons sal beskerm teen geestelik verdrink in die groot see van wanhoop wat ons omring reeds. Dit is die storie wat ek wou deur middel van hierdie werk te vertel nie, maar ek wou dit uit die oogpunt van geestelike sekerheid te sê nie, maar van die ondeurdringbare duisternis van iemand wat sukkel om kop bo water te bly te midde van hierdie see van wanhoop. As ek probeer om te bepaal hoe om te betree en te verstaan ​​hierdie toestand van die gees, het ek gedink 'n besoeker aan my MySpace webwerf 'n paar maande vroeër, 'n Amerikaanse Christelike rap groep genaamd Poetik Dissipels. "Ek was nog altyd gefassineer deur die prosodisch ritmiese diskoers van hip-hop musiek, maar beslis nie deur sy implisiete onderskrywing van vrou haat en geweld wat een ontmoetings so dikwels in die hip-hop lyrics. Poetik Dissipels gebruik dieselfde musikale tegnieke wese skep gewyde liedere en dit was baie inspirerend vir my. Ek het kontak met die leier van die groep, Steve Henry, wat, soos dit blyk, het ervaar persoonlik die "bodem van die put" deur middel van die bende geweld, verlies en aanhouding, en hom gevra of hy my kan help met hierdie projek. 'N Paar dae later het hy my 'n paar rap liedjies wat hy vir hierdie spesifieke projek geskep en Ek het geweet dat my werk sou baie voortspruit uit sy spesifieke materiaal wat reeds in die meegaande klank speel komponent van die stuk opgeneem.
