Hâfez and Betinis: a Conductor’S Approach to Ancient Persian Poetry As Voiced by a Twenty-First Century, Western Composer
HÂFEZ AND BETINIS: A CONDUCTOR’S APPROACH TO ANCIENT PERSIAN POETRY AS VOICED BY A TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY, WESTERN COMPOSER Peter C. Steenblik, B.M., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 2015 APPROVED: Dr. Jerry McCoy, Major Professor and Director of Choral Studies Dr. Stephen Austin, Committee Member and Director of Vocal Studies Dr. Richard Sparks, Committee Member and Chair of the Division of Conducting and Ensembles Dr. Benjamin Brand, Director of Graduate Studies, College of Music Dr. John C. Scott, Dean of the College of Music Dr. Costas Tsatsoulis, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Steenblik, Peter C. Hâfez and Betinis: A Conductor’s Approach to Ancient Persian Poetry as Voiced by a Twenty-First Century, Western Composer. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), December 2015, 91 pp., 1 table, 20 illustrations, bibliography, 67 titles. The choral music of Abbie Betinis is being widely performed and commissioned by prominent high school, university, and civic choruses. This study examines From Behind the Caravan: Songs of Hâfez, a five-movement work by Betinis for women’s chorus, vielle, oud, and Persian percussion. Four ghazals by Hâfez of Shiraz, a fourteenth century Sufi poet, are used as the text for Betinis’s Caravan. When considering a performance of this work, a conductor must understand proper treatment of the text, available translation options, Hâfez’s vast world of imagery, vocal demands inherent to the work, alternate instrumentations available and the benefits of each, how to approach improvisatory passages, how to engage heterophonic elements, and how to prepare a Western choir and audience with very little to no understanding of the philosophies of Sufism that heavily influence the work. -
(TNFJ) – Tehrik-E-Jafaria Pakistan (TJP) – Rawalpindi 28 February 2011
Country Advice Pakistan Pakistan – PAK38118 – Imamia Student Organisation (ISO) – Tehrik-e-Nifaz-e- Fiqh-e-Jafaria (TNFJ) – Tehrik-e-Jafaria Pakistan (TJP) – Rawalpindi 28 February 2011 1. When were the TNFJ and the ISO banned, and what are the names of their successors? Country Advice PAK33887 (November 2008) provides information on the history and names of the Tehrik-e-Nifaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafaria (TNFJ). Ambiguities in the naming practices of the TNFJ, and the breakaway group Tehrik-e-Jafaria Pakistan (TJP) are discussed in both Country Advice PAK 14999 (February 2002) and Country Advice PAK33887 (November 2008). Country Advice PAK31967 (June 2007) provides detailed information regarding the Imamia Student Organisation (ISO). Pertinent information from these responses is summarised below. It is important to note, as does Country Advice PAK33887 (November 2008), that the various Shi‟a sectarian groups currently operating in Pakistan have a complex history, with factional splits in organisations, and the formation of militant factions creating a range of different actors. The names under which different Shi‟a groups have operated have varied over time, in response to factional splits and government bans. It is in this context that there is a degree of variance and inconsistency in the titles by which the Tehrik-e-Nifaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafaria (TNFJ) and the Tehrik-e-Jafaria Pakistan (TJP) are referred to in news media, and political discourse; names tend to be used interchangeably.1 Tehrik-e-Nifaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafaria (TNFJ) No information was located which indicated the TNFJ was a banned organisation in Pakistan. The group‟s website http://tnfj.org.pk/sec/cont.htm was active at the time this research was conducted, and lists its headquarters in Rawalpindi.2 The naming of the TNFJ and other organisations is discussed below. -

A Review on the Recognized Elements of Shiite Political Culture in the Iranian Revolution
A Review on the recognized elements of Shiite political culture in the Iranian Revolution Ali Riasaty1*, Hamid Maghami2, Hadieh Parhizkar3 1 Vice President Advisor of Philosophy of Life and Healthy Lifestyle (PLHL) Research Center at Shiraz University of Medical Sciences (SUMS), Shiraz, Iran, 2 Member of PLHL Research Center at SUMS, Shiraz, Iran, 3 President of of PLHL Research Center at SUMS, Shiraz, Iran. Correspondence: Ali Riasaty, Vice President Advisor of Philosophy of Life and Healthy Lifestyle (PLHL) Research Center at Shiraz University of Medical Sciences (SUMS), Shiraz, Iran. Email: [email protected]. ABSTRACT Repetitive and various reviews of Iranian 1979 Revolution conditions have been undertaken from different perspectives. Employing Crane Brinton's Theory of Revolution and adopting a comparative analysis, the present study attempts to address the issue of the main elements of Shiite political culture as well as the emergence of these elements in the 1979 Revolution. Brinton thinks of revolutions as a kind of fever, whose symptoms begin to emerge in the pre-revolutionary regime. However, the symptoms are not reliable signs and the disease will not emerge unless its symptoms are adequately expanded. At the outset, the present study addresses and recounts elements of Shiite political culture, explicates the concept of revolution and its effective factors through a documentary method as well as a comparative approach. Moreover, the present research conducts an analysis of the characteristics which reinforce, increase and overlap with Shiite political culture during the Iranian 1979 Revolution. Keywords: Shiite, political, culture, Revolution. reasons for the Iranian Revolution are abundant in scientific and political comments presented by Marxist analysts and political Introduction activists, Muslim activists as well as those belonging to capitalist discourse. -
