Description
Award-winning composer Reza Vali is a native of Iran but is now based in the United States after studies in Europe. Vali's distinctive cross-cultural style is founded in a quiet rebellion that saw him return to his Persian musical heritage. Following the dazzling concert opener Ravan, Vali has taken a text by 13th-century poet and mystic, Rumi, two traditional texts, and words by Vali himself, to create the moving cycle The Being of Love, with each song evoking a different aspect of love. Isfahan uses Persian modes and forms, and is among Vali's most striking microtonal works, pushing the orchestra beyond its usual twelve-note sound-world in an exciting way.
