This book contains the score and individual parts for “Shab-e Neyshaabour,” a piece for a classical Iranian ensemble composed by Faramarz Payvar. He was inspired by eight quatrains by Omar Khayyam, selected by Amir Houshang Ebtehaj. The book includes images of Payvar’s original manuscripts.
Shab-e Neyshaabour: Score and Parts Book
Score and parts for the Shab-e Neyshaabour, including images of Payvar’s original manuscripts and annotations by “Mina Oftadeh” has 128 pages. The first edition of 550 copies was printed in the summer of 2020 in high-quality, full-color, and a large folio size. The advantage of purchasing this book from the Payvar Foundation website is that a PDF download link to the parts is attached to your invoice. Hence, you can print the parts multiple times and use them to play in an Iranian instrument orchestra or to practice in a group with Iranian instruments.
Group Performance Scores and Parts at Payvar Ensemble
This series of books from the “Payvar Foundation” is practical for many musicians, students, and Iranian instrument players. One of the challenges faced by Iranian music is the lack and weakness of group performance resources. Throughout his artistic career, Faramarz Payvar composed and arranged for his Iranian Instruments Ensemble for over thirty years. He wrote invaluable pieces for the Iranian ensemble that would be great for analysis, group practice, understanding the history of group performance in Iran, and many other ideas and activities. Having access to his manuscripts, the Payvar Foundation has paved the way for correction, comparison, and publication. It is crucial to note that Faramarz Payvar recorded these works not as scores but as separate parts. The Payvar Foundation, while preserving the original characteristics of his registration in the books, has also published these works as scores, which is very useful for composers and leaders of Iranian ensembles. Each book initially includes necessary explanations for notation and comparison of versions, followed by the score of the work, and then the separate parts for each instrument, usually including parts for ney, kamancheh, gheychak alto, santoor, tar, robab, and oud.
علی امینی اردبیلی –
سلام و خسته نباشید،
من این کتاب را تقریبا یک سال پیش تهیه کردم و طی این مدت آن را چندین بار با همکلاسی‌هایم بررسی کردیم و تلاش کردیم که در گروه کوچک‌مان بنوازیم. نسخه‌ی الکترونیکی پارتها خیلی به کار ما کمک کرد. در چند مورد به نظرمان می‌رسد که تفاوت‌هایی بین نسخه‌ی شنیداری و پارتیتور وجود دارد که ما ترجیح دادیم نسخه‌ی شنیداری را مبنا قرار دهیم. اگر جای بحث و گفتگو باز است، خوشحال می‌شویم که نکات مورد نظرمان را به گوش مسئولان خانه‌ی پایور برسانیم.
با تشکر
