EP « Ya Nas » 
Release date : February 13, 2014

كانِت الحِلْوَايِة واقفِة عالمراية
تاري بالمرايِة عم يتخبَّا القمر
 
طلت الحلواية فتحت البرداية
يا غيمة اللِّي جايِي وينُوِّي القمر

قالِتلا الحكايِة أسرارها مخبَّايِة
مخبَّايِة مخبَّايِة أنوارو القمر
 
ورجعت الحلواية وبقلبا الحكايِة
ونامت عالتِّكايِة عم تحلم بالقمر
 
نامي يا حلوايِة نامِي بكرا جَايِي
جايِي جَايِي جَايِي لعِنَّا القمر

She looked in the mirror
And saw the moon
Asked the passing cloud
Where is the moon?
I said: the story
Has hidden secrets
And so does the moon
She turned away
A story in her heart
She slept by the window
And dreamt of the moon
Sleep my little one
Tomorrow the moon will come
To see us
The moon will come.

Steinway artist, Chad Lawson, decided Chopin needed a new introduction.  Along with violinist Judy Kang (Lady Gaga, Ryuichi Sakamoto) and cellist Rubin Kodheli (Kanye West, Norah Jones), Lawson has arranged ten Chopin works into a minimalist landscape.

It's a risk editing the "poet of the piano" but one that Chopin would be proud of.  

Taking 10 Chopin works, Lawson decided to scale the works down to a minimalist setting.  "I knew even if bare-bones, Chopin's works could still be as spellbinding as the original compositions we are so familiar with." says the pianist.  

Produced by Chad Lawson & Alejandro Clavijo. Mixed by Stephen Lee Price.  Mastered by Michael Graves of Osiris Studios (Atlanta, GA).

Kyrie Eleison (lyrics) :

In English
Oh Lord, there have been a hundred year 
of fasting and praying 
spare me
my singing is for You
my silence is for You

I believed, I fought
Spare me
And allow me one last request

Spare us 
And leave us alone


In French:

Oh seigneur, cela fait cent années
de jeûne et de prière 
epargne-moi
mon chant est pour toi 
mon silence est pour toi

j’ai cru, j’ai lutté 
epargne-moi
et accorde-moi une dernière requête

epargne-nous
et laisse-nous tranquille

In Arabic
 

كِيريَالَيسون :

يَا رَبّ صَرلي ميّة سِنِة

بصُوم وبصلّي إرحمني

غِنائي لأجلَك يا رَبّ

صمتي لأجلَك يا رَبّ
 

آمنت جاهدت استقبلني

اسمحلي أُطلُب آخر شي يا رَيت يَا رَبّ
 

إِرْحَم إِرْحَمنا

إرْحَمنا وحِلّ عَنَّا

“A performer with magnetic, pop-star appeal...” 
New Yorker -

Hafez Nazeri is Iran’s most influential and admired new composer and singer and is the son of legendary musician Shahram Nazeri. Together they have accomplished the prominent role of introducing Persian/Sufi music to the Western world. Most recently Hafez's latest album "Untold" has topped the Classical Charts at #1 twice so far. 

Hafez has been featured by numerous news outlets and has been chosen by Vanity Fair as one of the most successful Iranians in NYC, and by the Los Angeles Times as one of the Culture Monsters of 2009.

In 2014 Hafez has been featured by CNN: http://www.cnn.com/video/data/2.0/video/international/2014/07/03/spc-inside-middle-east-lebanon-syria-c.cnn.html

Over the past years he has performed sold out concerts to standing ovation at the most prestigious concert halls around the world such as Stern Auditorium Carnegie Hall, Walt Disney concert Hall, Atlanta Symphony Hall, Kodak Theater, Royal Albert Hall and many others.

Hafez began voice lessons at the age of three, and went on to place first in many voice competitions. At seven, he began focusing his studies on tanbour and setar which he had been playing since he was three. He then became intrigued by the daf, a percussion instrument he taught himself to play. In the process, he created a unique technique that is now emulated by many of Iran’s young daf players. 

By the age of nine, Hafez had already begun to perform alongside his father in many prestigious music festivals in Europe and the Middle East. At the age of sixteen he performed at the Sfinks Festival in Belgium, the Festa Del Popolo in Italy, the Théâtre de la Ville in Paris and the Beiteddine Festival in Lebanon, along with many others. Hafez is considered to have extended the technique of setar-playing and has received praise from musicians and craftsmen alike.

In 2000, Hafez assembled a talented group of young performers to form the Rumi Ensemble. Together they performed Hafez’s original compositions in a series of landmark concerts in twenty Iranian cities. These musical innovations not only reached younger audiences, they also had an impact on the musical scene in Iran and beyond. With 140,000 in attendance, The Rumi Ensemble’s concerts in Tehran set a record for the entire Middle East. 

Selected pieces from this tour have been performed by the Armenian Philharmonic Orchestra in London’s Royal Albert Hall, and at music festivals including the Sodra Teatern in Stockholm, the De Bijloke in Ghent, Belgium, as well as at the Fez Festival in Morocco, and the Théâtre de la Ville in Paris.

At the age of 21, in a search for new artistic ground, Hafez came to New York to study western classical music. In 2005, he received a Diploma in Composition and Conducting from the Mannes College of Music. 

Later, during the same year, Hafez, along with new members of his Rumi Ensemble launched “In the Path of Rumi," a highly successful North American tour which performed record-breaking, sold-out concerts, to rave reviews. The venues included The Atlanta Symphony Hall and Los Angeles’ Kodak theater (12/11/05) - the most highly attended Persian classical music concert outside of Iran.

Hafez’s international appeal led to several invitations to speak at various media outlets, including radio stations such as KPBS, KUSC, KPFK, KPFA, TIME, UC Berkeley Radio and several of NPR in the United States.
Hafez’s musical compositions have been praised in major publications such as New York Times, Los Angeles Times, L.A Weekly, Boston Globe, San Francisco Chronicle, Washington Post, San Diego Tribune, Atlanta Journal, Telegraph, The Independent, Republica, Le Monde among others.
He was also featured in broadcast interviews, which include 10-minutes on CNN’s Live From with Kyra Phillips, BBC World Service’s program, The Ticket with Mark Coles, a live appearance on the Fox Channel, an exclusive on ABC NEWS, and an exclusive with Associated Press.

Hafez is also the recipient of a UCLA Creativity Award for Most Distinguished Young Composer. The Irvine City Hall Award of Distinction in Kurdish music was given to Hafez Nazeri for his contributions in spreading Rumi’s spiritual message of peace through the language of music. The United Nations Association also recognized Hafez’s contributions and his innovation in undertaking the “In the Path of Rumi” tour. 

February 25, 2006 was named Hafez Nazeri Day in San Diego County by the Mayor and the Chairman of San Diego’s Board of Supervisors. Soon after, he received recognition awards from the sheriff of Los Angeles, and the United States Congress, and was invited to lecture at Emory University, and Harvard University, where he was recognized for his pioneering efforts and innovation in Persian music. 

In 2007, Hafez premiered his most passionate and ambitious undertaking: The Rumi Symphony, as the first major celebration of Rumi’s 800th birthday anniversary. It was performed in the United States at the Walt Disney Concert Hall, and received a standing ovation. He also released a new CD called The Passion of Rumi, which L.A Times and the Boston Globe chose as one of the five best CDs in World Music for 2007.
