Struggle – 1001 Inventions and the World of Ibn Al-Haytham
Jaaneh Jaanaan:
Jaaneh Jaanaan resonates with the tones of a tradition of divine love poetry in Persian
that has resounded through the hearts of lovers for a millennium. Jaaneh Jaanaan is
an intimate conversation with the true Beloved, whom the bewildered poet sees everywhere.
He sings of earthly beauty, of the spiritual guide, and of the Divine Beloved Himself,
for all true love is ultimately love of the Divine.

Lyrics :
ای که یادت از همه پیر و جوان دل می رباید
(O You whose thought seizes the heart of the young and old)
به هوای کوی تو هر لحظه دل پر می گشاید
(In your midst, the hearts takes flight at every moment)
هم امید قلبی، هم پناه جانی
(You are the hope in hearts; the shelter of lives;)
نور مطلق زمین و آسمانی، جلوه زیبایی های بی کرانی
(The eternal light of the heavens and the earth, and the face of infinite beauty)
تو شدی دنیای من، رویای من، ای جان جانان
(You have become my world, my dream, my Beloved!)
رود از چشمان من اشکم به یادت همچو باران
(Tears stream down from my eyes when I linger in thought of You)
با تو در امانم، ای امید جانم، بی تو بی پناه و بی نام و نشانم
(I am at safety with You, o desire of my soul, I have no home nor name without You)
بی تو در تاریکی ام راهی ندانم
(I am in darkness without You, ignorant of any direction (to take))
تا نفس در سینه دارم اسم تو ورد زبانم
(Your name will never leave my tongue till I am alive)
عطر دل خواه و شمیم عشق تو آرام جانم
(Your loving and desirous fragrance settles my heart)
نور بی کرانی، لطف جاودانی، من گنهکارم ولی تو مهربانی
(You are boundless light, eternal grace, I’m a sinner but You are The Most Kind)
بهر قلب عاشقان، نام و نشانی
(You are a signpost for the lovers’ hearts)
بی تو ای آرام جان، ای مهربان، تنهاترینم
(Without You, o the One who puts my heart at rest, I would be the loneliest soul in this world)
تا ابد در کوی تو عاشق ترین فرد زمینم
(Till eternity, I will be Your most enraptured lover in this world)
یاد تو، توانم، جز تو من ندانم
(I can only be in thought of You as I know naught but You)
بی تو بی پناه و بی نام و نشانم، بی تو در تاریکی ام راهی ندانم
(O object of my everlasting desire, the reason for the peace of my heart and mind.)

LYRICS:
The high heavens exalt Your Name,
from which all names take their grace.
Timeless glories mark out Your reign,
from Your lofty dwelling place.
Understanding, bounteous One,
eternal gift of plenty;
omniscient, just and divine,
our Judge in all Your glory.
سبحت باسمك المجيد السماء
وتسامت باسمك الأسماء
يا عظيماً يا حليماً وفرداً
من عطاياك دامت الآلاء
You give breeze to the wheeling birds
Sustained high up in the sky,
as You nurture us here on earth.
In Your warmth we glorify.
You sent messengers to us, Lord,
Revealing Your word and light.
You taught the scale above the sword,
Your justice is all men’s right.
عندها نرتجي من الله عفواً
حين يأتي محمد واللواء
فاجعل المصطفى شفيعاً وكن لي
غافراً ذاك مطلبي والرجاء
We seek the mercy of God.
I beg, Prophet, speak for me!
Led by Mohammed’s great banner,
Your forgiveness is my plea.

أعمال قد تنال استحسانك
The opening sounds of this dramatic new composition by Sami Yusuf carry
the eternal message of wind and stones, with anchoring vocalization by Emin Mammadov.
Shur mugham elements are then introduced through the astonishing voice of Kanan Bayramli.
The sweeping melody conveys the majesty of place and the weight of time.
Rising above the Caspian Sea, Gobustan’s boulders contain six thousand ancient stone carvings,
messages left by our human ancestors over twenty thousand years ago.
They speak to us not just of another time, but of another way of being.
One remarkable feature of Gobustan are its stone drums, an ancient means of communicating
across distance (like a Stone Age text message).
The sound of these stone drums are incorporated into this extraordinary piece.

About the Performance
Sami Yusuf’s instrumental composition ‘The Meeting’ is an intimate
and deeply personal work. Direct and non-linear, the melodies,
rhythms and vocalisations sustain and support
one another flawlessly as the music moves fluidly between the Western
aeolian mode and the Persian dastgah shur. Solos by Sami Yusuf on tar,
Guo Gan on erhu, and Asad Khan on sitar circle each other
to create an embracing ambience where each melodic line is a subtle gem,
strong and fragile in equal measure.

Muhammad Part 2 (Bonus Track) – Sami Yusuf
DESCRIPTION:
Sami Yusuf’s composition ‘Veritas’ premiered at the Holland Festival in Amsterdam
as part of his concert series ‘When Paths Meet’.
From the minimal and ethereal sound of the intro,
it subtly transitions to a sense of awe at the astonishing majesty and multiplicity of creation.
The Persian-influenced musical phrasing of Sami Yusuf’s vocalisations
in the intro are inspired by the Daramad of Avaz-e dashti,
a subgroup of the Shur dastgah, a Persian modal system evocative of a meditative state.
Cappella Amsterdam sings quarter tones here and they do so brilliantly.
The flamenco and Andalusian sounds of the Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra interplay
with Western classical elements and the vibrant Arabic maqam Bayati.
When the mode shifts to the passionate yearning of maqam Nahawand,
its similarity to the Western classical minor scale brings an effortless resonance between the two.
The outro joins Bayati and a harmonic minor scale in a multi-faceted,
fiery expression of multiple, even contradictory states of being,
while the vocalists insist,
‘Veritas’, ‘Veritas’ – Truth, Truth – and cast our focus beneath the turbulent surface storms
to the calm depths below.

Māhūr Instrumental (Live at the Dubai Opera)
‘Shirvanshah’s Palace’, a new instrumental work from Sami Yusuf, features a 57-member
orchestra and dazzling solos on oud, kamanche, tar and balaban.
The musical narrative is majestic, powerful and intensely beautiful.
This piece is performed in Shur mugham [Əbu Əta], evoking an ecstatic mood that
echoes the Sufi ceremony of remembrance.
Although the sub-mode Əbu Əta (Or Abū ’Atā) is seldom used in recent decades,
it has been part of the Azerbaijani mugham system for centuries. The composer has chosen
to honor this particular traditional expression here, and in doing so seeks
to contribute to the revival of this complex musical language.
Shirvanshah’s Palace is a 15th century complex in Baku where the revered philosopher and sage,
Seyid Yahya Bakuvi, taught and prayed and where his tomb is located.
Performed live at the Opening Ceremony of the 43rd World Heritage Committee held in Baku,
Azerbaijan on 30th June, 2019.
