Right now I'm working on a short film score for the Marvin Hamlisch Film Scoring Contest, so my listening has tended to the dramatic and sweeping. (It also means I've started focusing on the soundtracks to movies I'm watching even more than usual, sometimes to the point of missing lines of dialogue . . . ) And while there's certainly a lot of highly dramatic repertoire written for the concert hall, much of the best of it comes from the stage. So today we feature one such work, a ballet by Persian composer Bezhad Ranjbaran.
