The “Psalmodia” (a version for cello and piano) was part of ‘Music between East and West: Continuity and Change’ concert event at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It was presented in conjunction with the exhibition ‘Byzantium and Islam: Age of Transition’, a feast of sounds for early music enthusiasts who would like to immerse themselves in the aural landscape of the medieval and contemporary Middle East. Pianist and musicologist Alan Gampel and cellist Clive Greensmith provided background to changing music styles.
