Dohree (Saad Haddad)

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki



Dohree is a composition for flute, viola and harp by the American composer Saad Haddad. It was commissioned by the California Association of Professional Music Teachers (CAPMT)[1], a state affiliate of the Music Teachers National Association. The work was premiered by the Debussy Trio on October 15, 2016 at California State University, Long Beach in California.

The work is 15 minutes long, organized into 3 movements:

  1. Flute's Turn
  2. Viola's Turn
  3. Harp's Turn

According to the composer's program notes, "...each of the players have a chance to solo while the other two instrumentalists accompany. The spotlight, of course, is envied by the accompanists in all three movements who continuously vie to be the main voice. The music itself incorporates the performance practices of classical Arabic musicians, with this trio of flute, viola and harp serving as ‘Western cousins’ of the nay, the kamanjeh and the qanun. The character of the trio often drastically changes in mood, from whimsical to distraught, from contemplative to ecstatic."[2]
