by Fariborz Lachini (Author)
Scent of Yesterday is a collection of classic Persian Pop or folk melodies arranged for solo piano by composer/pianist Fariborz Lachini. Arrangements are in slower pace than the original pieces which makes the series an excellent choice for background music as well as instructional purposes but more so Lachini tries to bring back and reconstruct some of the best but almost forgotten melodies of his home country in his Scent of Yesterday series to a style enjoyable by today's audience. This is the companion sheet music book to his "Scent of Yesterday 7" album: 1 Age Cheshmat Began Areh 2 Ham Boghz 3 Lay Lay Lay 4 Ouni Ke Mikhasti 5 Borj 6 Arousak 7 Asmar Asmar 8 Shab Zadeh 9 Shenhaye Saheli10 Mastom Mastom11 Tangna12 Baje Eshgh13 Geryeh Kon14 Pichak15 To KojayeeISMN: 979-0-706060-13-2 Corresponding MP3s: http: //www.amazon.com/Scent-of-Yesterday-7/dp/B0045DA3I2Single Sheet Music or complete eBook, compatible with Kindle/iPad/other eBook readers, in PDF format is available from artist's official website for download using your amazon.com account: http: //www.lachini.com
Author Biography
Lachini's musical career has spanned four decades and transcended both genres and borders - his musical sensibilities reflect a fusion of Persian and European styles, and the popularity and appeal of his music has expanded beyond the confines of his home country (where his first solo piano album, "Golden Autumn", instantly became a success) to classical music lovers worldwide. Since then his solo piano books have been taught by music teachers in Iran. Lachini's compositional style is sometimes categorized as neo-romantic although he prefers to call it light classical . His music has a powerful emotional content that speaks to the listener even without the words and breaks down cultural borders.
