Shahin Farhat composes "Iran Symphony"
TEHRAN, Oct. 9 (Mehr News Agency) -- Iranian composer Shahin Farhat
recently finished composing a work entitled "Iran Symphony" to prove
his patriotism once again. He had previously created "Iranian Lady
Symphony", "Damavand Symphony", and "Persian Gulf Symphony" in this
genre.

"I began writing the symphony last Noruz (Iranian New Year, which
begins on March 21). It abstractly demonstrates bittersweet events
our country has experienced over history," Farhat told the Iranian
Students News Agency (ISNA) on Saturday.
"With a genuine Iranian theme, the symphony has been written in four
movements taking 40 minutes. The first and second movements have an
exciting and fast rhythm, the third movement is mellow, and the
ending reminds one of triumph and victory," he explained.
"I have asked Ali Rahbari (Tehran Symphony Orchestra conductor) to
perform the symphony, and he has welcomed the idea," Farhat said.
According to Farhat, the Iranian Academy of Arts will sponsor the
performance. He had previously said that he might be persuaded to
give it to the Armenian Philharmonic Orchestra because of technical
limitations in Iran for the performance and recording of orchestral
and symphonic works.
Farhat's Persian Gulf and Damavand symphonies were also to be
performed by Iranian conductor Loris Tjeknavorian and recorded in
Iran, but in the end they were performed and recorded by the Armenian
Philharmonic Orchestra.
Farhat expressed satisfaction with the Armenian orchestra's
performance of the symphony.
