In the entirety of Solomon's 700 marriages and 300 additional maid-servant relationships, his search for true love led him to one 'almah, one young girl, one maiden, who captured his heart like no other. She is called a Shulamite, from the city of Shunem which was located southwest of the Sea of Galilee in Israel. The residents were descendents of Issachar, one of Jacob's twelve sons, and they were known for their strength, humility, and desire to serve unconditionally. From the Song of Solomon we learn that 'Almah grew up with harsh brothers who forced her to labor in her family's vineyards. She viewed herself as a common girl, like the common meadow flowers "a rose of Sharon" and "a lily of the valleys." Yet, 'Almah's life changed forever when the most powerful ruler known to man fell deeply in love with her, making her his only beloved. Like a shepherd, Solomon gave her rest. Like an oasis, he gave her water and safety. Like an apple tree in the forest, he stood out broadly among men. Such are the beginning images in the Song that describe her new life with the king..." ⋆✡⋆✡⋆✡⋆✡⋆✡⋆✡⋆✡⋆✡⋆✡⋆✡⋆✡⋆✡⋆ Video: Darius Chan Venue: Melba Hall, Melbourne Conservatorium of Music Special thanks: Mountain Hui from Heaven Recording Studio, Hong Kong ⋆✡⋆✡⋆✡⋆✡⋆✡⋆✡⋆✡⋆✡⋆✡⋆✡⋆✡⋆✡⋆ ♩Follow me for new music and upcoming performances: https://www.thereseng.net https://www.youtube.com/ThereseNgHoiYan https://www.instagram.com/therese.hoiyan ♩Follow Joshua for his handsome face: https://www.joshuadema.com/ https://www.youtube.com/user/joshyfishie https://www.instagram.com/demagram/

Steve Falk (Australia) dedicated this piece to Therese (..me!) Therese first premiered the piece in Melbourne 2017. This performance was recorded on 30 Nov 2018. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Words from Steve: "The idea for this piece came to me during a recording session. I was improvising on my marimba, creating music for a short film about an old shop in Errol Street North Melbourne. Later I developed that idea into a solo marimba piece. As with most of my music, there were notated sections and parts that could be improvised, also. After performing Errol Street I decided to produce this final version, which is fully notated, including the sections that were previously improvised." - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ★Errol Street sheet music is published by Edition Svitzer: http://www.editionsvitzer.com/catalog/qpgxhd4e1a/c-23/p-1487 ★More about Steve Falk: http://www.stevefalkmusic.com
