Note:
And His Cuff Was Damped with Tears "for String Quartet (in one movement), is composed in the Summer of 2012 inspired by Ahmad Shamloo from his poem Said the Canary. The original motivation for writing the piece came to me during the first live performance of Chahargan Ensemble (a Persian string quartet consists of: kamancheh I & II,alto gheichak, bass gheichak) in Tehran, where I was an audience to. Apart from the stunning sonic quality of the Persian string quartet in terms of timbre and microtonal abilities, what attracted my attention most was the true potentials of experimentation in the realm of contemporary music, both in its style and in techniques for writing specifically for Persian instruments. After recording the piece I recomposed the piece for western string quartet. The melodic and rhythmic elements of this piece are derived from the Persian traditional Radif system. The hollow, sad look in her eyes, few seconds before they burst into tears, never left my sight throughout the movement . . . www.karenkeyhani.com
