Composer: Atefeh Einali Commissioned by Iranian Female Composers Association – IFCA For Solmaaz Adeli with the kind support of Shiva Afshar, Yasaman Moghaddam, and Ayoub Farahyar Solmaaz Adeli: Mezzo-soprano Ava Nazar: Piano World premiere at Duke University Chapel, March 8, 2024 Programme note for “HAZIN”: They are after a simple life – you know, the usual routine: wake up, coffee, shower, dress up, walk, exercise, study, work, shop, cook, and sleep. Sounds pretty basic, right? But it's not that simple for them. It needs a lot of effort, and they keep telling themselves, 'Don’t even think about it, just do it!' Composition approach: This piece is based on “Hazin” from Radif Saba for Santoor. Hazin means sadness in Farsi and it is a rhythmic pattern in Iranian classical repertoire which is playable in any mode (Dastgah). This piece has three video-recorded improvisations attached for performers which I played by Santoor. Incorporating a video-recorded improvisation into this piece is inspired by my experience learning the Santoor. Also, it reflects how many other cultures pass down knowledge orally, without written notation. I think transcribing these traditions into Western notation can lose some precision. My intention is not for performers to copy my oral tradition exactly, as that's not feasible. Rather, I want them to be inspired and create their own version through a dialogue with me. In my composition method, I always encourage performers to get in touch with me for any questions or even have a cup of tea together, in person or online. The collaboration and sharing of thoughts could make a huge difference in cross-cultural composition.

Creator of the event and Santoor improvisation: Atefeh Einali. This event was created as part of Nonclassical composition scheme in November 2022. Visual artist and film: Nikta Mohammadi Event videography: Johan Reitan Venue: Soup in Manchester

Speak (In FArsi is Harf Bezan) is for a left hand in Piano, a scissors and spoken words. The main melodic theme is based on the “Sozo Godaz” Gushe in Isfehan Avaz (one of the Persian modes). It was performed by Anoush Moazzeni in 2020.

Composer: Atefeh Einali Violin: Saba Yousefi Studio: Revolution Studio Sound engineer: Pouya Hamidi About the piece: Based on Segah Dastgah. Iranian traditional musoc consists of a collection of “Dastgah” which has remained to this day through the renditions of various musicians and players. Each Dastgah includes modes which are placed one after another in a specific order. The concern and curiosity to find chords in the arena of Iranian music has been always with me. This piece has a novel musical atmosphere by utilizing new intervals from Dastgah Segah. The reason for selecting the Dastgah Segah is that it, compared to other Dastgahs, has the most “Mojanab intervals” (135-145 cent). Moreover, Atefeh has tried to make harmonic atmosphere with this intervals that repeat as (A) section throughout the entire piece. • #virtualperformance #emruzfestival #ifca #himehculturalhouse #womensday #yyzmusicscene #musician #womencomposers #womenperformers #musicians
