The Year 2006 is the 100th anniversary
of Rouhollah Khaleghi's birth!
Golnoush Khaleghi
Both www.rkac.com
and www.rkac.org will take
you to our new website.
The RKAC is very pleased to announce the opening of its new website.
This new website contains a complete list of Rouhollah Khaleghi's works,
articles and publications, as well as several biographies of the musicians
and literary personalities whose works are connected to either Rouhollah
Khaleghi or Golnoush Khaleghi's works.
The center is proud to present Rouhollah Khaleghi's memorial tribute
Ey Iran. This wonderful book contains essays written by Khaleghi, articles
written by others about his life and his work, his travel memoirs, and
excerpts of his private letters as well as pictures from the Khaleghi
family private photo album. To purchase a copy of Ey Iran visit our
Online Store: http://www.rkac.com/CD/nfoscomm/catalog
. KAC has undertaken several projects to honor to commemorate his birthday.
1) As many of you recall, the RKAC published two cassette tapes with
the title of Mey-e Nab 1 and Mey-e Nab 2 in 1990. Shortly thereafter,
the Soroush Publishing Company in Tehran produced the same music as
CDs. These CDs have not been available for many years. Over the past
years, we have received many requests for reproducing this music in
the CD format by lovers of the music of Rouhollah Khaleghi. We are very
pleased to inform you that the CDs are finally available under the new
titles of Remembering My Father and Ey Iran. The CDs contain new graphics
and photos, the music has been re-mastered, and the sound quality improved.
Remembering my Father includes moving settings of Persian poetry for
solo voice, orchestra and choir (Rangarang No. 1, Mey-e Nab, Bahar-e
Asheq, and Hala Chera, sung by baritone Kaveh Deylami) as well as orchestral
arrangements of Two Bakhtiari Folk Songs.
Ey Iran CD contains the original version of this popular patriotic hymn
as it was recorded under the direction of Ostad Khaleghi and sung by
the immortal Persian baritone, Gholamhossein Banan. The definitive contemporary
version of this hymn, arranged for chorus and orchestra by Golnoush
Khaleghi and featuring tenor soloist Rashid Vatandoust, is also included
on this disc. You can purchase these CDs by visiting our Online Store:
http://www.rkac.com/CD/nfoscomm/catalog.
2) The music scores and articles of this great composer have been collected,
presented to the Library of Congress for safekeeping and copyrighted.
These scores can be purchased, in PDF format, by April 2006 by contacting
us at info@rkac.org.
A collection of the works of the great master performed by female singers
(which cannot be produced in Persia) will be produced as a CD collection
and offered to the public by the summer of 2006.
Don't forget to sign our Guest Book. We appreciate your comments, which
would enable us to improve the website.
Please forward this message to friends and colleagues who may be interested
in its content.
Thank you,
Golnoush Khaleghi
