<p><span style="color: #000080;"><a href="http://www.monodies.com/album/"><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>Mehdi Hosseini</strong></span></a></span><span>&nbsp;<span style="color: #000000;">often uses the word&nbsp;</span></span><span style="color: #000000;"><em>monodies</em>&nbsp;not only as the title of his composition, but also as a musical term; by which he means the characteristics of single voice structures, adapting themselves to any musical texture. The composer recently had a new recording published in Tehran, which also takes on the title&nbsp;<em>Monodis.&nbsp;</em>For this album he collected compositions which were written based on regional folk tunes from different parts of Iran. The album was recorded in Russia by well-known local soloists, ensembles, and the Saint-Petersburg State Philharmonic Orchestra and State Academic Orchestra. All of the compositions were written between 2003 and 2009.</span></p>
