COMPOSER’S NO TE NOTE Introduction “The Beautiful Names of AllƗh (God) are proof of the existence and oneness of Him. O You who are burdened and troubled with the weight and suffering of the material world, may AllƗh make His Beautiful Names as soothing balm for your wounded hearts”. So writes Sheikh Tosun Bayrak al-Jerrahi al-Halveti. The 99 Names of AllƗh as culled from the Qur’an have formed the basis and inspiration of my work The Beautiful Names. The 99 Names are universal, insofar as they are theophanies of the eternal Primordial Being. A companion of the Prophet Mohammed said “I never saw anything without seeing God”. Man’s mission, therefore, is to join the vision of the ‘Outward’ (the tangible) to the ‘Inward’ (the spiritual). This is the aspiration of The Beautiful Names. And perhaps, by doing this in the language of music, one may contribute a little to an inward healing of the appalling strife that permeates the modern world. Musical note The Beautiful Names came to me as a vision. I contemplated the meaning of each of the Names as well as the sacred sound of the Arabic, and the music appeared to me spontaneously. The music that came to me was neither chaotic nor random, but seemed always to have an inner logic that frequently related to ‘cosmic music’ or Music of the Spheres. I decided quite early on to base the structure of the work on the sevenfold constitution of Man as taught by Hindu theosophy. This causes the main part of the work to be arranged on conjunct triads, i.e.: 1.

Hence, nine Tonal Zones of eleven names make up the structure of The Beautiful Names. The Divine Names fall into two categories, those of majesty and those of mercy, and all are declaimed by the solo tenor and/or choirs. The first eight sets of eleven names are prefaced by magisterial cries of AllƗh, and are separated by Interludes with ejaculatory outbursts of that Supreme Name, together with rigorous canons for either strings, three trombones, or four trumpets with piano and timpani. The last group of eleven names, however, acts as a Coda, and therefore it is not prefaced in the same way. There is almost no repetition in the entire work. The pow-wow drum of the American Indians represents Shiva’s drum, sounding every 99 beats until the Coda, as the permutations of the Tibetan temple bowls, gongs and tam-tam represent the Divine Breath. This connects with the Sigh of Sadness and Compassion of the Primordial Being, which is depicted by the exhaling of breath by the two choirs, while a somewhat distant string quartet contemplates the Divine Mercy. The music abounds in mirrors, thus emphasising the presence of the Divine in His creatures. I should like to thank Mr Michael Macdonald, distinguished Arabist and Fellow of the Institute of Oriental Studies, Oxford, for his constant help with the pronunciation and stress of the Arabic words. Also my gratitude goes to the late and venerable Dr Martin Lings for his inspiration, and last, but certainly not least, to Catherine Schuon for her generosity and encouragement in the project. J.T.

Notes

, ! and E denote microtones, the characteristic ‘breaks in the voice’ of Eastern chant. In the exhaling passages (for example in bar 368), only the sopranos and altos should vocalise, breathing and re-entering when necessary, ad libitum. Tenors and basses should just exhale, voicelessly.
