This work creates a dialogue between the Western Equal Temperament system, performed by the orchestra, against the Persian Dastgâh/Maghâm system, performed by a microtonal trumpet capable of playing up to 24 notes per octave. As the music juxtaposes these traditions, it explores the tensions as well as commonalities that exist between the two cultures.

Program Notes
The Ancient Call (Calligraphy No. 13) was written for the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra’s trumpet virtuoso, Neal Berntsen, and was completed in February 2014. The work is composed for an especially designed micro-tonal trumpet, which can perform up to 24 notes per octave, and orchestra. The fundamental elements of the composition such as the tuning, melody, rhythm, form, and polyphony are all derived from the Persian modal system, the Dastgâh/Maghâm. My goal for writing this work has been to create a dialogue between two different musical systems. The piece sets the Western Equal Temperament system, performed by the orchestra, against the Persian Dastgâh/Maghâm system, performed by the trumpet. My aim has been to elaborate on the inherent tensions that exist between these two interval systems and use it as a symbol for the existing political and cultural tensions between the Persian and the Western cultures.
