Abstract
dc:description.abstractTarnavazan is a four-movement piece that is shaped through a hybrid approach, blending Persian classical music and Western contemporary classical music. The Persian material is derived from the dastgāh Shur and dastgāh Nava (two Persian modes), while the Western material is based on a mode called the Partials mode, which is derived from the harmonic spectrum of the note D4 on the Tār (a traditional Persian instrument). The tempos of the first two movements are moderate—neither particularly fast nor slow—while the third and fourth movements are slower. The thesis contains an introductory essay explaining the composer’s approach to these materials as well as the performance score.
