Hijaz Nahawand by Cope

Composer:  Kevin Cope 

Description: Hijaz Nahawand is a short piece that utilizes the modes of the East in a manner that emphasizes the harmonic possibilities that they possess while maintaining their unique intervallic qualities within the resulting melodies. By employing many of the West's key ideas, such as harmony and modulation, a melding of musical cultures occurs. This results in a unique soundscape that attempts to emphasize the oddity of the sounds to Western ears while exploiting the full breadth of harmonic richness that is possible with the piano.
