I first encountered a blue lotus when a friend, Neil Sieling
(an avid Egyptologist) gave a group of us a guided walk-through of the
Egyptian wing of the Metropolitan Museum here in New York. According to
Neil the Ancient Egyptians had a special feeling for the flower
and portraits of goddesses and royal women inhaling the blue lotus date
to the beginning of Egyptian history. Not only did it symbolize
the rising and setting of
the sun—and thereby the consistency of nature, it also had an aroma
that was said to be mildly transporting and putting the petals into
wine enhanced the feeling. The idea of a blue lotus that operated
on a variety of levels
intrigued me, and I wrote a highly structured piece and named it for
the flower. Most of the other tracks on this CD could be called
petals of that same flower, as they spin out of the basic structural
ideas presented more formally in "Blue
Lotus."
