Text selected from the Requiem Mass, D.H. Lawrence, Percy Bysshe Shelley and the Old Testament

First performance 3rd December 2003 at St. Martin-in-the-Fields

Subsequent revisions have been small, mainly consisting of a brand new Benedictus (to replace one which, in the original performance, had beeen borrowed from a liturgical setting of the Mass), the expansion of the Dies Irae and the creation of a bigger orchestration, as an alternative to the chamber scoring, to make the most of the forces available at the second performance, in St. Petersburg.

Charles Camilleri (1931 - 2009) was a Maltese composer. As a teenager, he composed a number of works based on folk music and legends of his native Malta. He moved from his early influences by Maltese folk music to a musical form in which nothing is fixed and his compositions evolve from themselves with a sense of fluency and inevitability. He composed over 100 works for orchestra, chamber ensemble, voice and solo instruments. Camilleri's work has been performed throughout the world and his research of folk music and improvisation, the influences of the sounds of Africa and Asia, together with the academic study of European music, helped him create a universal style. Camilleri is recognized in Malta as one of the major composers of his generation. He died on 3 January 2009 at the age of 77. His funeral took place two days later at Naxxar, his long-time town of residence. Flags across Malta were flown at half-mast in tribute to him.

Just like Bach's 6 suites for cello solo, these 6 arabesques are composed of a number of distinct movements which follow the suite principle. The melodies in these 6 arabesques are influenced by Mediterranean folk music.
