Mehdi Hosseini - Monodies

The world premiere of composer Mehdi Hosseini's composition "Monodies" was on the 21st November 2011 as part of the opening day of the 23rd Annual International New Music Festival "Sound Ways", in the Glinka Hall of the St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra. The work performed by the Sound Ways New Music Ensemble under the direction of American conductor Brad Cawyer. Hosseini's "Monodies" fits within this idea in that it is dedicated to Italian 20th century composer Luciano Berio. The name "Monodies" has been used quite often in the composer's recent works, in that, at the present moment, he is devoting a significant amount of attention to the embodiment of his musical ideas into a single-voiced style, using the sounds of the traditional music of Persia and mixing them with western trends.
