“The new song cycle” by Ramin Heydarbeygi draws on medieval and contemporary poetry from Iran. The texts are compiled as a quasi monodrama expressing love, lust and eroticism with poetry from the ninth-century to present, including poems by Mahsati, Rabe’eh, Jahan Malek, Sanai, and, contemporary poet, Parvin Salajegheh. Sung in Persian, the song cycle is commissioned by soprano Sara Paar. Other works on the program include an earlier song cycle, “Gusan”, with poetry by, the blind poet and harpist from the ninth-century, Rudaki; and the world premiere of “Muye baray Farzin” for solo viola, a work composed during the pandemic.

Reza Vali’s works draw on music theoretical works by the great 13th century Iranian medieval music theorist Safi Al din Ormavi (also known as “Urmawi” in Turkey and “Al Urmawi” in Arabic speaking cultures). His “String Quartet No. 5, Gavesht” presented on this program is composed based on the tuning system and the modes found in Ormavi’s treatises on music.
