SLM by Mark Dresser and Sarah Weaver, co-composers and co-conductors
SLM is the triconsonantal root of many words that translate to "peace"
in several Semitic languages. These
words include "Shalom" in Hebrew, "Salaam" in Arabic, "Sliem" in
Maltese, "Salaamata" in Afar, "Selam" in
Amharic, and "Shlama" in Aramaic.
SLM for telematic bass ensemble, utilizes a form developed by Sarah
Weaver and Mark Dresser, that
translates metaphor into specific musical materials. These materials
are modulated through the
conducted language, Soundpainting.
SLM was written for Deep Tones for Peace and will be premiered at this event.

Prayer to the moon
Two-Backed .
Oh the beauty!
Front and back you made me
Oh the wonder
Male and female created me
Light of the Shkhinah* upon me
Two-faced created me
Still a star whispers
Sawed and crafted me
What on my face hovers
Two-backed
Prayer to the Sun
My elbows
Bless you shining one
And little
As you sink, dissipate
Finger
On wing of your dawn
Hip
The voice will come
Surfing
Line to line will drawn
Joint of ankle
By budding sea
Hung with hundreds
Of Bells
Scattered on Wind
* Female manifestation of God Tom Innocence Tehom Abyss
