Song No 28: Homāyoun
The beautiful Tār performance by Mortezā Khān Ney-Dāvoud at the beginning of the piece transports the listener back to a century ago. A time when a Muslim singer (with a background in recording religious records) and a Jewish musician recorded a joint work on gramophone records for a society that often considered religious minorities impure, without knowing the details of this collaboration.At that time, they listened to the music together, unaware of the deeper meaning of this unity. A time we have now moved far beyond!
Homāyoun Lyrics
Swearing by your life is not the path of honor,
Swearing by the dust at your feet, which is indeed a great oath.
I am not the only one lost in this passion,
How many hands have been raised to God because of you.
