Reena Esmail
Composer |
Indian-American composer Reena Esmail works between the worlds of Indian and Western classical music, and brings communities together through the creation of equitable musical spaces. #liftyourvoice uses her melody, "Panem Nostrum," as featured in her 2019 composition, "Concerto for You," for violin and string orchestra. "This theme, Panem Nostrum, came from my setting of the phrase Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie, which means "Give us this day our daily bread." During composition, I envisioned a warm, safe, connected space where we can each ask for what we need - to ask for our daily bread, for the things that sustain us, literally and metaphorically. "As you play this melody, think about what makes you feel most alive, what keeps you going. And send gratitude for your daily bread into the word with your music." -Reena Esmail |
