Constantinople & Holland Baroque - Echoes of the Throne Room (by Didem Başar)

Echoes of the Throne Room Didem Başar Constantinople & Holland Baroque This pieces was composed for the project Dialogos: Francis of Assisi meets Malik al-Kamil. More than 800 years ago, Francis of Assisi walked barefoot and unarmed from his crusader camp in Egypt to the camp of ‘the enemy’. He came there to speak to Sultan Malik al-Kamil. Francis and Malik al-Kamil talked to each other for three days and did not get carried away by the hostility and violence of their contemporaries. They held spiritual conversations and recognised in each other a desire for peace. Sultan Malik Al-Kamil and Francis did something radically different from what the spirit of the times told them. They broke the cycle of violence. This special meeting is the starting point of the musical encounter between the musicians of Constantinople and Holland Baroque. Together, they float between old and new music, improvisations and compositions, the Far East and the West. A call for international dialogue and peace. Constantinople has chosen the journey – geographically certainly, but also historically, culturally and internally – as its cornerstone. It draws inspiration from all sources and focuses on distant horizons.
