Everyday Wonders: The Girl from Aleppo tells the extraordinary
story of Nujeen Mustafa, a Kurdish teenager with cerebral palsy
forced by war to flee her home and embark on an arduous journey to
Europe with her sister. In this five-movement cantata Nujeen's
story - recounted in her biography 'The Girl from Aleppo'
(co-authored by Christina Lamb) - is retold by Kevin
Crossley-Holland and richly scored by Cecilia McDowall. A wealth of
musical effects are employed to capture the narrative, including
chorales, rhythmic spoken sections, body percussion, and a solo
violin part infused with Middle Eastern flavours. The prevailing
mood of Nujeen's story is embodied by the final line of a chorale
that bookends this unique concert work: 'singing the song of life
itself.'
