Guido Maria GuidaAbout
In 1844, Félicien David composed the symphonic ode “Le Désert“ (“The Desert“) after his return from an expedition to Egypt. The surprise in this works comes up in the third movement. After a rather simple structure, depicting the sunrise over the desert, the tenor soloist intonates the muezzin’s call. This must have been the first Mohammedan prayer call ever to be performed on a European stage.
