Exploration de la forme miniature et les influences de la musique iranienne à travers mes onze compositions
This dissertation is an analytical approach to my eleven original works created during two years of my master’s degree. It includes Nostalgia for fifteen musicians, four Miniatures for solo piano, three Epilogues for brass ensemble, two Bagatelles for piano, violin, and cello, Novelette for piano, clarinet, violin, cello, Miniature for solo clarinet, and Novelette for symphonic orchestra. My works have been composed to show my compositional competences on short forms and to integrate in my pieces elements of traditional Iranian music. I tried to establish a relationship between the traditional elements such as Iranian modes, instrumental techniques of Iranian music and the forms of western classical music. This project gave me a new way to composer music and gave me a particular musical perspective. These works have been written for different instruments and ensembles. These works were composed for various instrumental ensembles. After an introduction and a first chapter devoted to the general explanation of the structure of traditional Iranian music, I will present an analysis of the different short forms.
