Program Notes:

The Bestiarius (Bestiary) was a common book during the Middle Ages. It contained illustrations of animals, some real and some imaginary. For example, the phoenix was introduced through the Bestiaries. In his Bestiarius, Israeli poet Dan Pagis introduces six "animal" poems, from which I chose three. The text, filled with humor, gave me the opportunity to compose music that often creates a bold contrast to the written word.
