Abstract
Qurama for chamber ensemble, was written in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Composition at College-Conservatory of Music, University of Cincinnati. Qurama is an ancient handicraft of Azerbaijan, a kind of patchwork made of cloth scraps of various sizes and colors. The etymology of the word qurama also contains a meaning closer to construction in English. Ideas of working with different shapes and colors, adding multiple layers on top of each other or subtracting, separating them, exploring different time concepts and listening experiences are important to the compositional processes of this piece. This piece is dedicated to Lale khanim and Mezahir bey Avshars, painters and sculptors, friends of my family. Both had an impact on me as an artist. Qurama was premiered in 10/7/2012, by Contemporary Music Ensemble in residence of Boston University, conductor Theodore Antoniou at the final round of ALEAIII International Composition Comptetition, Tsai Performance Center, Boston, Massachusetts.
