It takes its title from the 1966 poem\u00a0<i>It is Only Sound that Remains<\/i>\u00a0by Forough Farrokhzad (1935-1967). The lyrical content of the second movement is also derived from the following section of Farrokhzad\u2019s poem:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.soosanlolavar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/it_is_only_sound_section-590x403.png\" alt=\"it_is_only_sound_section\" width=\"330\" height=\"226\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Sound, sound, only sound,<\/p>\n<p>the sound of the limpid wish of water to flow,<\/p>\n<p>the sound of the falling of starlight<\/p>\n<p>on the layer of earth&#8217;s femininity,<\/p>\n<p>the sound of the binding of meaning&#8217;s sperm<\/p>\n<p>and the expansion of the shared mind of love.<\/p>\n<p>Sound, sound, sound, only sound remains.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the title of each of the five movements of\u00a0<i>Only Sound Remains<\/i>\u00a0is taken from the 1967 poem\u00a0<i>Wild Mountain Plant\u00a0<\/i>by Jaleh Esfahani (1921-2007).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.soosanlolavar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Wild_mountain_plant_nastaligh_compress1.jpg\" alt=\"Wild_mountain_plant_nastaligh_compress\" width=\"405\" height=\"750\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I am a wild mountain plant,<\/p>\n<p>not a tulip in a vase.<\/p>\n<p>Do not take me to senseless festivities.<\/p>\n<p>I am used to the coldness of the rough rocks.<\/p>\n<p>Do not take me home.<\/p>\n<p>My birthplace is the mountain.<\/p>\n<p>Once I grew under a rock.<\/p>\n<p>Once I will be buried under a rock.<\/p>\n<p>My rough nature is the nest of grief.<\/p>\n<p>I am separated from compatriots and home.<\/p>\n<p>My heart does not shed happiness.<\/p>\n<p>There is no jubilation in me.<\/p>\n<p>Do not expect me to be fresh, scented and colourful.<\/p>\n<p>I am but the fury of heartache.<\/p>\n<p>I am a wild mountain plant waiting for spring.<\/p>\n<p>Stroking me with affection makes me weep.<\/p>\n<p>Do not make me weep.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i>Only Sound Remains<\/i>\u00a0combines elements of both Iranian and Western classical music in order to explore new musical territory for both traditions. The tonal basis of the piece is derived from two Iranian\u00a0<i>dastgah<\/i>\u00a0\u2013 often described as modes but functioning more as melody types \u2013 called\u00a0<i>Homayoun<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0<i>Segah<\/i>. These melody types require all musicians to play fluctuating microtones, referred to as\u00a0<i>koron<\/i>, which are unused in Western musics. Similarly, the piece uses as source material two\u00a0<i>gousheh<\/i>\u00a0\u2013 established melodic fragments within a particular\u00a0<i>dastgah<\/i>\u00a0that are used as the basis for extemporization. A dance-like melody called\u00a0<i>Reng-e Farah<\/i>\u00a0features in the 5<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0movement, initially as a tar solo, while\u00a0<i>Jamedaran<\/i>\u00a0provides the source material for the fast moving tutti passage in the same section.<\/p>\n<p>The piece also makes use of structural conventions, techniques and textures more common to Western classical music styles.\u00a0<i>Only Sound Remains\u00a0<\/i>is a work in five movements, freely combining notated, semi-notated and improvised sections. It makes use of a wide variety of instrumental timbres, thus expanding beyond the notion of melody and decoration which is the focus of Iranian music, and employs a range of ensemble textures, disrupting the established solo and accompaniment form in much traditional Iranian work.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the technical aspects of the piece,\u00a0<i>Only Sound Remains<\/i>\u00a0is a very personal reflection on both my experiences over the past 10 months of Stay Close and my own British-Iranian heritage. I have been deeply inspired by my work with musicians in Iran and members of the Farsi-speaking community in the UK. Through these two research phases I have discovered a form of Iranian creativity in both Iran and the UK that freely combines Iranian and Western musical ideas as well as taking traditional forms and updating them in the context of a contemporary work.<\/p>\n<p>On a personal level, Stay Close was born as part of a wider process of rebuilding my relationship with Iran through which the composing process stands as a tool for asking and answering questions about my Iranian identity. This practice-as-self-exploration process has been enlightening and will no doubt extend far beyond the culmination of this project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Only Sound Remains is a five movement piece drawing on Iranian and Western music styles and written as part of\u00a0Stay Close, a 10-month project exploring contemporary music as a means of exchange between Iran and the UK.
