Music Ethnic Studies Cultural Anthropology Composition Persepolis Symphony Persepolis Symphony Orchestra Orchestral Persian From the time of its conception in Spring 2013, until its final manifestation in Spring 2015, Persepolis Symphony has developed from a short melodic motive into a large-scale composition for full orchestra. The piece embodies a majestic sensibility that may be perceived as apt for an ancient royal court. The title pays tribute to one of the grandest palaces of Ancient Persia, Persepolis. Accordingly, the work derives its musical inspiration from Persian folk and traditional music, featuring melodic and rhythmic elements from the musical tradition of Iran. The piece is written in the Persian melodic mode of Shoor, which uses an aggregate set of pitches similar to that of the Western natural minor scale, but utilizes a 2nd scale degree lowered by a quarter-tone. The work also features a pervasive rhythmic cycle salient in Persian folk music. Persepolis Symphony commences with the main theme presented in a light orchestration and gradually develops into a fuller texture as the thematic material progresses. 2015-08-25 English text Ohio University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1429875660 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1429875660 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
