Interview with All Tajvldl: A Pathbreaking Iranian Composer•• li Tajvidi, a well-known master of traditional music in Iran, has been elected 'man of the year for 1998' by the American Biographical Institute, USA, (a most import research organizations which interviews world prominent figures) with collaboration of the England's Cambridge University.
In March last year, he played an important role in the formation of the Iranian National Orchestra, which in its first performance played two songs from Tajvidi.
Tajvidi has more than 60 years record in the Iranian music by composing pieces such as 'Yad-e Koodaki' (Remembrance of Childhood), 'Ashofteh Hali' (Unsettled Condition), 'Azadeh-am Man' (I Am a Libertine), 'Sabram Ata-Kon' (Give Me Patience), etc.
But the Iranian music really flourished once the late Pimia, the son of Moshiroldolleh who was really in love with Persian music and literature, arranged the above-mentioned Golha Program in the state radio, and I was among the first musicians ever played in that program.
In other words in order that the orchestracan communicate with the masses, the orchestra must play new songs and the singers who accompany the music must be able to convey the spiritual message of the compositor.
In fact the encouraging steps taken by the Department of Arts of the Ministry of Culture and the Islamic Guidance and specially by the minister himself, has played a big role in giving boost to Iranian music so that each year the 10-day Fajr Music Festival is held in a far better and attractive manner than a year before.
