about
Julia Wolfe’s Thirst is part of an eight-part work entitled Water by Michael Gordon, David Lang, and Julia Wolfe. In this powerful music with its nervous repetitive rhythms and swelling and receding chords, one can feel the intensity of the need for water (the thirst). In addition to choir which splits at times to twelve parts in the chords, the imaginatively deployed chamber orchestra includes electric guitar, vibraphone, piano, strings, woodwinds and brass. Thirst draws on text from the Old Testament prophet Isaiah: the poor and the needy seek water a thirsty man dreams he drinks in his dream but when he wakes he is faint and his soul longs for water Open the rivers in high places Open the fountains in the valleys I will make the wilderness a pool of water and the dry land springs of water I will pour water on the thirsty land and the floods upon the dry ground on the thirsty land.
