The collection of “Birjandi” songs consists of seven pieces performed at Rudaki Hall between 1972 and 1977 by “Sima Bina,” accompanied by the National Instruments Ensemble, and arranged by Faramarz Payvar. Caltex Records released these songs in an album titled “Zolfaay Yarom” in 1993. One of the distinguishing features of these arrangements compared to other works by Payvar is their structure and composition. In this collection, Payvar has experimented with more coloring and polyphony, highlighting another aspect: Did Payvar take a free approach in arranging and orchestrating these songs for his ensemble? Did he overlook some principles he consistently considered in his arrangements of traditional works and even his compositions within the domain of Iranian music? With these arrangements, he introduced both complex and novel rhythmic combinations and adopted a bolder and fresher expression in composing for the Iranian music ensemble.
Excerpt from the lyrics of “Zolfaay Yarom”:
Zolfaay yarom bi-nazire, labash cho gheimagh shire
Begardom dore cheshmash, barqabarq shamshire
Joonam miyad, omram miyad, dava o darmonam miyad
Gol-e-azar khandonam miyad
Yavash yavash yavash miyad sedaye pash
Orsinakaye* yarom jire, pay delam be zanjire
Zolfaay yarom bi-nazire, labash cho ghimagh shire * Orsi refers to traditional hand-stitched leather shoes worn by women in Birjand. Orsinakay means small shoes.

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.
