ORCHESTRA 

Renowned for its dynamic, engaging, and 

soulful performances, Tafelmusik is one 

of the world’s leading period-instrument 

ensembles, performing on instruments 

and in styles appropriate for the era of 

the music. Last season we welcomed 

Music Director Elisa Citterio: only the 

second Music Director in Tafelmusik’s 

history, she took over from Music Director 

Emerita Jeanne Lamon. We are Canada’s 

most toured orchestra, having performed 

in over 350 cities in 32 countries, and are 

proud to call Toronto our home. There 

we perform some 80 concerts each year 

for a loyal and enthusiastic audience in 

diverse venues across the city. The orchestra 

is joined in performances by the 

critically acclaimed Tafelmusik Chamber 

Choir and its director Ivars Taurins. 

Tafelmusik seeks to transport audiences 

to the baroque and classical periods 

through adventurous cross-cultural 

collaborations. Our musicians share 

their knowledge and experience through 

artist-training initiatives such as the 

Tafelmusik Baroque Summer and Winter 

Institutes. Tafelmusik’s recordings 

on the Sony, CBC Records, Analekta, and 

Tafelmusik Media labels have garnered 

nine JUNOs and numerous international 

recording prizes. tafelmusik.org 

ELISA 

CITTERIO 

The brilliant violinist Elisa Citterio joins 

Tafelmusik as Music Director last season. 

She moved to Toronto from her native 

Italy, where she divided her artistic

leader, with such ensembles as Dolce & 

Tempesta, Europa Galante, Accademia 

Bizantina, Accordone, Zefiro, la Venexiana, 

La Risonanza, Ensemble 415, Concerto 

Italiano, Orquestra del Monsalvat, 

Il Giardino Armonico, and Orchestra Academia 

1750. From 2004 she was a member

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.

Via Regia (the east-west route from Santiago

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.”
