Ethnically and Culturally Inspired Music
About "Ave Verum"
Here is an example from the rich sacred repertoire
of the Orchester der Kulturen. The composer Adrian Werum transforms Mozart’s contemplative music into an ecstatic piece that harks back to ancient forms of spirituality. It represents a fusion of European classical, music from the Christian tradition of Europe and the Middle East, African singing, and rhythms ranging from Cuban to Turkish. The text is Aramaic and sung by Abeer Nehme.
