Program Notes
In 1978, I started writing a series of compositions based on Persian folk music. These works consist of sets of folk songs (each set containing four to eight songs) written for voice and orchestra, voice and piano, or instrumental ensembles without voice. "Folk Songs (Set No. 10)," completed in September 1992, is the tenth set of this ongoing cycle. The piece consists of four songs, two of which (songs no. 2 and no. 4) are based on authentic Persian folk melodies. Songs no. 1 and no. 3 are composed in the style of a folk song (imaginary folk song). The third song (Lament) is a funeral dirge composed in memory of Olivier Messiaen. "Folk Songs (Set No. 10)" is dedicated to my wife, Nan, with love and appreciation for her support of my music. --Reza Vali
