Iran Daily: "Martyrs Symphony Under Production"

I am reminded of those symphonies that used to be written in which the second theme from the first movement represented Soviet man overcoming all obstacles:

Iranian composer Shahin Farhat, whose works include compositions for ’Imam Reza (AS)’, ’Persian Gulf’, ’Damavand’ and ’Iran’ symphonies, is currently producing a piece to commemorate the martyrs. Farhat told ISNA on Friday that upon completion of the symphony, he will dedicate the piece to those who sacrificed their lives for the country. The symphony is Farhat’s tenth work and it is divided into epic, dramatic and lyric sections.

Other planned works include a sonata for centrifuge.
