It’s 1740, and coffee houses are the places to listen to music and share stories, in both the famous trading center of Leipzig and one of the oldest cities in the world, Damascus. The latest Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra multi-media musical offering Tales of Two Cities: The Leipzig-Damascus Coffee House illuminates each city’s striking features in common: both enjoyed a lively tradition of coffee houses in which the finest musicians of the city performed and both were also famous centers of scholarship and learning. Anyone who has attended one of Tafelmusik’s three previous multi-media concert projects at the Lobero in the past decade (The Galileo Project, House of Dreams or J.S Bach: The Circle of Creation) can attest to the incredible originality and conception of their insightful musical stage creations that combine live music, text and stunning projections transporting the audience back in time and place. Not to be missed!

TALES OF TWO CITIES:
THE LEIPZIG-DAMASCUS COFFEE HOUSE
Notes on the Program by Alison Mackay
For centuries, both coffee and music
have been celebrated for their stimulating
properties and their restorative
powers. The development of the coffee
house in the cities of the Middle East and
Europe offered citizens the opportunity
to experience fine music making and coffee
drinking at the same time. This was
particularly true in the German city of
Leipzig and the Syrian capital of Damascus
in the eighteenth century.
Though separated by 3,000 kilometres,
the two cities had a number of fascinating
characteristics in common. Both
lay at the crossroads of ancient trade
routes and became important centres for
international trade fairs.

Leipzig lay at the intersection of the
Via Regia (the east-west route from Santiago
de Compostela to Kiev and Moscow)

mann in Leipzig. We can imagine that
Händel might well have been invited to
take part in the weekly Collegium concert,
and the works which were later
published as a collection of trio sonatas,
Opus 2, are typical of the repertoire
which would have been performed on
such an occasion.
After Telemann moved away from
Leipzig, his ensemble became associated
with a coffee house in the centre of
town run by the confectioner Gottfried
Zimmermann, who purchased a number
of instruments for the use of the students.
In 1729 this ensemble was taken
over by the cantor of St. Thomas’s Choir
School, Johann Sebastian Bach, who
directed weekly concerts for the coffee
house patrons, supplementing the ensemble
of student performers with members
of his family, visiting virtuosi, and
Stadtpfeiffers — elite performers from
the town band. Under Bach’s leadership
the Zimmermann Collegium Musicum
became the most highly respected ensemble
of its kind in Germany.
At this time, the city of Leipzig was
already established as a centre for the
study of Arabic language and literature.
The holdings of the town library included
264 Islamic manuscripts written in Persian,
Arabic, and Turkish, which had been
acquired in 1686 when Saxon troops
plundered the newly conquered Hungarian
city of Buda, which had been part of
the Islamic Ottoman empire since 1541.
In May of 1723, the month that
Bach moved to Leipzig, a young scholar
named Georg Jacob Kehr began to catalogue
these manuscripts. He had learned
Arabic at an amazing institution in Halle,
founded in about 1700 as a social experiment:
it was an educational village of
fifty buildings “for the use of the entire
world.” There was a residence for about
100 orphans, a school for 2,200 girls and
boys of all classes, a teachers’ college, a
hospital and pharmacy, a cabinet of curiosities,
and a “Collegium orientale” — a
college offering instruction in Arabic,
Ancient Greek, and Hebrew. A famous
scholar from Damascus named Sulayman
al-Aswad al-Dimashqi, who was involved
in the first translation of the New
Testament into Arabic and of the Koran
into English, taught for a time in this
institution, a number of whose graduates
became teachers of Arabic in Leipzig in
the time of Bach.
A century later, a student in Arabic
studies from Leipzig University became
the Prussian Consul in Damascus, living
there for fourteen years. During this period
he acquired for the library of his alma
mater a unique and precious collection
of 488 manuscripts, most of which were
copied in the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries in Damascus. The socalled
“Refaiya” collection, named after
the family who had the library in their
home, contains books of poetry, biographies,
letters, travelogues, and scientific
treatises, and gives us a valuable
glimpse of intellectual life in Damascus
in the period explored in our concert.
This collection includes a set of
small books that had belonged to a professional
coffeehouse storyteller named
Ahmad ar-Rabbat. These slim volumes
contain stories of the type told in Damascus
coffee houses — epic sagas and
tales from the Arabian Nights which lend
themselves to exciting narration in instalments.
The Scottish physician Patrick
Russell, who practised for twenty-one
years in Syria in the mid-eighteenth century,
has left an arresting description of
the coffee house storyteller’s art:
He recites walking to and fro in the
middle of the coffee room, stopping only
now and then when the expression requires
some emphatical attitude. When
the expectation of the audience is raised
to the highest pitch, he breaks off abruptly,
and makes his escape from the room.
Our performance includes a story
about a destitute migrant who forges a
letter of recommendation to a government
official. This tale as told by Scheherezade
appears in some manuscript
collections of Arabian Nights stories, but
it originates as a moral tale in a work
now known as the Mirror for Princes by
the medieval Islamic philosopher Al-
Ghazali. The Mirror for Princes was part
of the Damascus storyteller Al-Rabbat’s
collection; in another manuscript source
he explains how to dress the coffee
house to set the stage for the storyteller
and accompanying musicians.
We are delighted to welcome Trio
Arabica, which performs songs and instrumental
works from the complex tonal
and rhythmic structures of classical
Arabic music, and from the styles of
traditional music known in Syria which
were influenced by Iraqi and Turkish traditions
in the cosmopolitan mélange that
was a feature of the Ottoman empire.

TRANSLATIONS OF ARABIC SONGS
Badat Min al Khidri
She appeared from the tent in a temple of light
She shines over the moon and puts the moons to shame
From her saliva comes drunkenness and her mouth causes intoxication.
Come back O cup bearer, let us pass the cups
O fill up, O my friend, how beautiful it is to drink with nice companions
She was plentiful but not avaricious to give from the world of lights.
Yamul ‘Uyoun Issoud
I am mesmerized with your black eyes —
Your golden complexion bewitched our hearts.
She came out with her pretty rose dress
and the sun hid when she came out.
Her figure sways like a branch in the breeze —
She walks slowly as if she’s flying slightly above the ground.
She stands at the door crying out “Oh mercy” —
I am not crazy and my mind is sound.
From behind the oven she gives me a loaf of bread
The loaf from the pretty one would last for a year.
Who needs food if he is close to her?
Ya Malikan
You who own my heart, you who have stolen my sleep,
Until when will you deny my love? Enough of this persistence!
I adore you — why do you torture me?
You are the one I seek and want,
Reward me with your closeness and love.
Until when will you keep your distance?
Afdihi in Hafidhal Hawa Ow Diya’a
My life is yours whether your love is there or I have lost it.
You own my heart — what else can I do?
He who did not taste his lover’s cruelty as sweetness
Lived in ignorance of true love and pretended.
You with the pretty face have withered the beautiful patience.
Is there mercy in your heart for someone who adores you
And whose heart is aching?
Is there a way to show you my love
Or to tell you of my agony, or plead?
I feel too shy to plead with you as you got me used to doing.
I do it only because I want your approval.
Tala’a Min Beyt Abouha
Going from her father’s house to the neighbour’s house
She passed me without greeting me. Maybe the pretty one was upset.
I said, “Sweet one, quench my thirst, give me a drink of water.”
She said, “Go away, poor soul — our water will not quench your thirst.”
I told her, “Sweet one, quench my thirst, show me your figure.”
She said, “Go away, poor soul, my figure is like a stem of basil.”
I told her, “Sweet one, quench my thirst — show me your eyes.”
She said, “Go away, poor soul, my eyes are those of a gazelle.”
I told her, “Sweet one, quench my thirst — show me your cheeks.”
She said, “Go away poor soul, my cheeks are like that of a pomegranate.”
