Scent of Yesterday 13: Piano Sheet Music (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781470188955)

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 13" album.

About the Author
Born in Iran, Fariborz 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. Focusing primarily on film composition in recent years, Lachini's music has been showcased in both domestic and international productions. In 2006, his critically-acclaimed score in "Requiem Of Snow", Iraq's submission for the Academy Awards, was cited in Variety as a highlight of the picture. While active scoring motion pictures in North America and abroad, the prodigious Lachini continues to be prolific in the music scene. Lachini's solo piano music possesses a tenderness that resonates with music lovers despite any cultural differences. The unifying force of music is clearly at work in Lachini's entire catalog. Lachini believes in the emotional power of simplicity. His music is subtle, suspenseful and full of longing - a rare and rich find in today's music
