The second album of the complete works for piano by the composers Georges Ivanovitch Gurdjieff and Thomas de Hartmann is dedicated to the music of the Sayyids and the Dervishes. These compositions - reflecting the musical idiom of the Middle East - occupy a special place in the entire body of works by Gurdjieff and de Hartmann. The Dervish pieces are often characterized by powerful dance rhythms, full of spiritual fervor. The music of the Sayyids, on the other hand, presents more of a mystery.
The intention of the composers was clearly to evoke the spirit of the Sayyids and Dervishes, rather than to transcribe their music. As in all of the Gurdjieff/de Hartmann works, one finds here their unique blend of Eastern and Western musical idioms.
