Barrett

Barrett, The Honors College at Arizona State University proudly showcases the work of undergraduate honors students by sharing this collection exclusively with the ASU community.

Barrett accepts high performing, academically engaged undergraduate students and works with them in collaboration with all of the other academic units at Arizona State University. All Barrett students complete a thesis or creative project which is an opportunity to explore an intellectual interest and produce an original piece of scholarly research. The thesis or creative project is supervised and defended in front of a faculty committee. Students are able to engage with professors who are nationally recognized in their fields and committed to working with honors students. Completing a Barrett thesis or creative project is an opportunity for undergraduate honors students to contribute to the ASU academic community in a meaningful way.

Persian music is immensely rich in history, culture, and expression. There has always been a very unique style and feel to it with common themes and elements present in all songs created by Persian artists. It has specific unique elements in its composition, quite different from Western classical music, common across all forms of Persian music regardless of genre or generation: highly vocal melodies, greater use of ornamentation, and particular notation. While different, these elements are not incompatible with one another. This musical composition uses a string ensemble of Violin, Viola, Cello, and Double Bass to combine and incorporate the unique styles and elements of Persian music with those of Western classical music. This Persian-inspired waltz brings out aspects of both styles to convey both styles in harmony together and, at the same time, portrays each respective style within the setting and context of the other.
