In Song of the Reed, the reed quintet meets one of Iran's most famous singers: Mohammad Motamedi. Together, the musicians perform a cross-pollination of traditional Iranian songs with instrumental classical music.
Song of the Reed is about being homesick for origins. The famous poem of the same name by the 13th-century mystic poet Rumi describes the pain of those who are cut off from their home, like a reed cut loose from its reed bed. Century-old Persian poetry provides an inexhaustible source for Iranian songs. Motamedi's speciality is to infuse these verses with graceful melodies.
