Five reflections on the Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám

for piano (2009)


I. Daylight

II. The Coldest Lover

While still thy body's breath is warm and sweet,

Follow thy pleasures with determined feet,

Ere death, the coldest lover in the world,

Catches thee up with footsteps still more fleet.

Omri Shimron – piano

III. Nothing in the World

IV. Cradle Song

V. When the Stars Come
