 Texte d'Alain Van Kerckhoven Certains symboles ont traversé les civilisations et les âges, utilisant comme véhicules des mythes qui se perpétuent de mille façons : récits religieux, chansons populaires ou décors de cathédrales par exemple, Les plus forts de ces symboles ont nourri (et été nourris par) une discipline initiatique à la fois spéculative et opérative : l'alchimie,Three Philosophers Songs (2013) - que l'on pourrait traduire par ' Trois Mélodies philosophales ' - évoque trois de ces mythes occidentaux sous un éclairage philosophal, The Fruits of the Earth se réfère à l'étrange histoire de Caïn et Abel, La musique est construite sur la technique de la basse obstinée,Dans les divers épisodes qui se succèdent, la voix et les instruments établissent un dialogue soulignant le caractère dramatique du récit, Roots and Thorns évoque de multiples destins de l'acacia, La pièce s'ouvre sur une succession d'accords mineurs distants les uns des autres d'un intervalle de tierce (mineure ou majeure), Une mélodie se déploie vers la fin de cette longue introduction, Suit alors un passage central plus agité rythmiquement où le chant prend le rôle central, soutenu par les instruments, Une troisième section voit revenir la succession d'accords et la mélodie initiale, The Salt of the Earth revisite la très alchimique légende de Saint Nicolas, L'utilisation d'un accord sans tierce donne un caractère ' médiéval ' à la courte introduction instrumentale, La voix chante alors en boucle une mélodie simple, très expressive, et c'est l'ensemble instrumental qui crée les différentes atmosphères et variations de caractère, La conclusion, purement instrumentale, utilise essentiellement la mélodie principale et finit sur l'accord sans tierce du début, / Baryton

This song was written for the NMC Songbook and recorded by Omar Ebrahim.'Raju Raghuvanshi is unmarried; he's forty five; his parents are dead; no siblings. He's had to move to Bamni nearby. For here in Katra where helived they rush into their houses locking all the doors locking all the windows crying 'Ghost! Ghost! Ghost! Ghost! Ghost!' at the sight of him. He was in prison you see where he was hospitalised. Rumours were rife: he'sfallen ill; he's been moved to another town; he's dead; cremated. Ganeshi his cousin's wife performed the last rites so his spirit could rest. 'Imagine our surprise when he turned up alive ' she said 'We thought he was dead.'Poor Raju. Poor Raju Raju Raghuvanshi; he's technically a ghost. 'Now I have to prove I'm alive. N.V. Vayangankar Chief of Police will help me. I have property you see a few acres of land. I know their game. They shall notbeat me. I say to them: 'But can't you see that my feet are the right way round? If I was a spirit or a ghost they'd turn backwards'. I was not gone long now I don’t exist.''
