One new piece was “Elegy for the Future” by Lior Navok, a work for six players composed in Tel Aviv both before and after Sept. 11. The music is rich in emotion and instrumental coloration, and Navok poignantly evokes a melody from a Mozart piano concerto to make the statement that “the pure is now shadowed in darkness” – as if the pure had ever met any other fate; which is why we need music, both by Mozart and Navok.
