The Spirit Sings with Hussein Janmohamed
Nur: Reflections on Light (2014) was commissioned by the Aga Khan Museum for the opening of the Ismaili Centre, Toronto, Ontario, on September 12, 2014.
The Elmer Iseler Singers, joined by guest Ismaili singers, premiered Nur: Reflections on Light at the recent opening of the Ismaili Centre Toronto and Aga Khan Museum.
Nur: Reflections on Light is a collection of miniatures and choral soundscapes exploring the ineffable nature of light. The collection contains newly composed music and reworked material written as a site specific composition for the event. The music interweaves melodies from Ismaili Muslim devotional literature, quranic recitation and classical Indian ragas into textures inspired by early and contemporary choral music.
