Summary note
"Hailed by The New York Times as 'an important new artistic voice' and by Gramophone as 'a post-millennial Schubert, ' Mohammed Fairouz is one of the most significant composers of vocal music of our time. His oratorio Zabur (Arabic for 'psalms') is a kind of war requiem documenting a conflict's effects on human beings, most notably children. Though cast in a contemporary setting, in a city under siege, Fairouz evokes a timeless world, acknowledging tragedy while asserting an eternal, luminous hope that transcends the disastrous present."--Container.

Contents
Part I. Prophecy (4:03)
There is no power here (4:21)
There is an occasional crackle far away (4:30)
And so now what seemed so urgent before (3:40)
The Lord scoffs at them (3:09)
Serve the Lord with fear (3:02)
Part II. Your candle is almost out (3:14)
I tried to get the children to play, but they won't (4:02)
We should all- especially the children here (5:33)
Can we tell them we are hungry? (3:07)
Yes, children, this is the power of art (1:50)
This is inspiring! (1:01)
Destruction of the Shelter (3:48)
Hear my prayer, O Lord (3:01)
The Lord looked down (2:37)
In the beginning you laid the foundations (4:44).
