Ferdowsi Project

Creatorship and innovation besides his fabulous and sensational voice are the most important features of Shahram Nazeri-Knight of Iranian song and melody. During three decades of Nazeri’s activities these precious features had different approaches to bring the newest into Iranian song treasure. We can name “Moses and Shepherd” album as the commencement of these innovations in which Rumi's poems are song professionally (so called Mathnavi). To continue this approach lute (Tanboor-a kind of Iranian music instrument) was played in “Voice of Endearment” and then in half of 1980s cittern Setar ( a three stringed guitar) was played in a new way in two albums ”The One Hundred Leaf Flower” and “Fire in the Sugarcane Fields”. Another choice of Nazeri from Iranian music treasure is “In Remembrance of a Friend”, “Winter” that are continued by “In Gulestaneh” album “Saqi Nameh”. These albums besides “Joy Giver”, “Masters of Iranian Traditional Music” and “The Lovern Heart” are the results of co_ working with masters of music. Also “Mystified” and “Moonlike” are view of a new way of playing lute that inspire the fresh spirit and shows the ace innovations which is implied in each work of the Master of melody-Shahram Nazeri. Master Nazeri believes that his newest work are continuous of his approach he is following from the past, so for the first time in 1989 he used wordless sounds and trilling his voice rhythmically. He has introduced the new pattern of Iranian original music and songs by holding a concert in 1998. Then he developed it by three albums such as “The New Instrument and The New Song “, “Journey to Beyond”, Loulian and “The Passion of Rumi”. “The Passion of Rumi” was a great motivation to taking a big step in introducing Rumi to the world and the song of “The Passion of Rumi” entered to music world successfully. After his marvelous offer about Rumi global project which was followed by different and successful performances in and outside of Iran, now he has cast his attention to Ferdrowsi project. There is no doubt that reciting Shahnameh in Kurdish (Mythical Chant album) is the result of ten years research and study about how to perform Ferdrowsi ShahNameh. He believes that study on Rumi's poems certainly guide him to Ferdowsi. Also he stated that these two poets (Ferdowsi and Rumi) have a lot of things in common. It is useful to say that Ferdowsi’s poems have not been performed in Iranian Original singing so far. Because of epic nature of the poems and being in distich (Mathnavi) form and having a unit rhythm for all the poems performing Shahnameh is a hard works and needs special and vast practices. Nazeri's continuous study and researches about the nature of Ferdowsi 's poems and the effect they can have on the environment whether emotional or intellectual progressed to the extent that Hafez Nazeri chose composing music and working on Ferdowsi 's poems as his thesis when he was in New York. With attention to Hafez Nazeri's education in composing music and being conductor of orchestra they can work on Ferdowsi 's poems more than before and as Nazeri-the father-has worked on this subject for many years, from now he knows necessary to work on how to perform the ShahNameh. It is useful to say that Master Nazeri has performed Shahnameh successfully in 2009 in France and USA.
