“Oh My Beloved” is a set of three love songs set to the poetry of the great 13th century Persian poet Jalaluddin Rumi. The work is scored for mezzo-soprano, clarinet and piano with a duration of nine minutes.
These three songs evocative celebrate the spirit of love in different ways. The first song is a call to draw the lover near, the second a passionate whirling dervish dance and the third celebrates full surrender to the power and passion of love.
