ABOUT Septembers of Shiraz
Prior to the Iranian revolution it was a place where people of all religions were allowed to flourish. This is the story of a Jewish family who abandon everything before they are consumed by the passions of revolutionaries. Septembers of Shiraz is adapted by screenwriter Hanna Weg from Dalia Sofer’s bestselling novel, featuring powerful performances by Academy Award® winner Adrien Brody, and Academy Award® nominees Salma Hayek-Pinault and Shohreh Aghdashloo.
Mark Isham On The Score
“For the score, I needed to find a balance between ethnicity and the universality of the story. The circumstances are not unique to this time and place, but at the same time the story is very unique to the characters living it. So the score needed to serve two purposes: to move between accompanying exactly what you are seeing on the screen and reflect the universal emotions of what is being expressed at the same time. Musically, to demonstrate the dichotomy I incorporated a chamber orchestra including two cellos for a more classical sound that reflected the universality of the story and Middle Eastern percussion to reflect the ethnicity of the story and location.”
