She and Babaee (my grandfather) were living in Iran all alone after their children immigrated to US and Europe, so it was only natural for Mamani to come live here after her husband of 60+ years had passed.

One of the most apparent differences between the two poets (essentially both mystics) is felt in how they expressed their beliefs: Rilke is an introspective poet, his writings display the depth of his quest but also a gentle, relatable vulnerability. Rumi is almost the other extreme altogether, as he writes from a place of ecstasy and unearthly exultation, as if in the midst of an out-of-body experience. Sometimes in the attempt to translate his poem's euphoria however, we lose sight of the subtlety and nuance of the original language. in their own ways, both Rilke and Rumi's poems therefore allow great opportunities for musical settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-Gity Razaz\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jinous Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44477096198223,"sku":"JP027","price":90.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/23233e78ab988edbd6e1a4f353c1b1dd.jpg?v=1784815259"},{"product_id":"razaz-4-tableaux-jinous","title":"Razaz: 4 Tableaux","description":"\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/pt\/collections\/gity-razaz\"\u003eGity Razaz (1986-)\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Score \u0026amp;

I came across a picture of this magnificent tree in a buddhist magazine, and was immediately struck by the awe-inspiring shape of the trunk, braided around its core and twisting upwards from the bone-dry surface of the rock-covered ground. There is hardly any surrounding vegetation, and the extreme climate — Methuselah is located around 10,000 feet above sea level — makes the tree's longevity a true rarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe piece begins with a descending gesture, in the lowest range of the orchestra, depicting the roots of Methuselah. I imagine that deep under the rocky surface of the ground there must be many far-reaching roots, perhaps just as gnarled and twisted as the trunk and branches above. and from there, the consistent upward journey of the piece begins. The ensuing passages are developed from an ascending motive, which lead to a lyrical line in the solo violin. The melody lives on in the high register of the instrument, representing the precious persistence of life beneath the rock-hard, twisted bark of the tree. The piece ends with the melody dissolving in tutti chords across the orchestra.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs I was composing the piece, I was constantly thinking about the remarkable endurance of life, a single-minded, unapologetic force whose sole purpose is to perpetuate survival in spite of all the odds. I could not help seeing parallels in various aspects of our world: the persistence of hope, the striving for advancement, and the fight for justice and betterment. Such ideals essentially sprout from the same impulse, embedded in our DNA: to thrive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-Gity Razaz\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jinous Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44477143679055,"sku":"JP026","price":162.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/a885d00306389d6ead04befbd98a0cbb.jpg?v=1785069894"},{"product_id":"razaz-mother-jinous","title":"Razaz: Mother","description":"\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/pt\/collections\/gity-razaz\"\u003eGity Razaz (1986-)\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Full Score - \u003ca href=\"\/pt\/pages\/format-descriptions\"\u003eFormat guide\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong class=\"original-instrumentation-title\"\u003eInstrumentation\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"original-instrumentation\"\u003eChamber Orchestra\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork\u003c\/strong\u003e: Mother (2021)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"binding\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral Bound\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-width\"\u003e11.0\u003c\/span\u003e x \u003cspan class=\"book-length\"\u003e16.9\u003c\/span\u003e inches\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"book-pages hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages\u003c\/strong\u003e: None\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"one-half columns\"\u003e \u003ch4\u003eDescription\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"feature_divider\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor chamber orchestra\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 (2nd also picc), 2, 2 (2nd also b. cl), 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2, 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003etimp, 1 perc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003estrings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuration: 5 minutes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe short orchestral piece, \u003cem\u003eMother\u003c\/em\u003e, is an ecstatic tribute to nature's elegance and eternal resilience.

The piece is divided into three sections, each exploring the lyrical, percussive and harmonic capabilities of the cello. Shadow Lines is an abstract aural representation of the formation of a visual phenomenon: Double Vision. Scored for solo cello, pre-recorded cello and electronics, I envisioned the piece in three distinct sections, each highlighting the lyrical, rhythmic, and harmonic capacities of the cello. Through the use of delay effects as well as layering of the cello lines, a musical take on \"double vision\" is portrayed within each section. in using looping and pre-recorded material, my goal was to reach beyond an expected, static sound world. Therefore, some loops are long as 20 measures, forming independent lines and an elusion to the addition of another cello.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-Gity Razaz\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jinous Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44477220421711,"sku":"JP010","price":36.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/2ad0dce7a2b91953d06df64288461bd9.jpg?v=1785068353"},{"product_id":"razaz-song-whispers-jinous","title":"Razaz: Song \u0026 Whispers","description":"\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/pt\/collections\/gity-razaz\"\u003eGity Razaz (1986-)\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong class=\"original-instrumentation-title\"\u003eInstrumentation\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"original-instrumentation\"\u003eViola\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork\u003c\/strong\u003e: Song \u0026amp; Whispers (2020)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"binding hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-width\"\u003e8.9\u003c\/span\u003e x \u003cspan class=\"book-length\"\u003e12.0\u003c\/span\u003e inches\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"book-pages hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages\u003c\/strong\u003e: None\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"one-half columns\"\u003e \u003ch4\u003eDescription\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"feature_divider\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSong \u0026amp; Whispers\u003c\/em\u003e is a study in the coexistence of conventional lyricism - \"Song\" - and atmospheric sounds and timbres resulting from non-traditional, gestural, and extended performance techniques - \"Whispers\".

The poems conjure a distorted image of love and the idea of soulmates. They tell a non-linear story about finding and inevitably losing one's soulmate, against the backdrop of a rooted, current relationship. Kinnell's poetry often embraces the destructiveness and shortcomings of humanity. in these chosen poems one is constantly reminded of the mortality of all things human, including love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSix distinct poems are set to music in one large movement without any pause between songs.
