Abstract: Kabir Sings is a twelve-minute original composition for solo soprano and orchestra. The text is a poem of the fifteenth-century Indian mystic poet Kabir, translated by the great twentieth-century Bengali writer Rabindranath Tagore. Born a Muslim and trained by a Hindu guru, Kabir sought to bridge the two traditions by pointing to a higher mystical reality beyond sectarian practice. This setting of his ecstatic poem utilizes, in addition to the soprano soloist, a standard orchestra (3333 4331 4 percussion, timpani, harp, keyboard, strings) with the addition of several exotic percussion instruments, including a steel drum.
