NeyNava is a studio album by Iranian musician Hossein Alizadeh, released on 23 September 1983 by Mahoor Records.[1] In 1994 it was reissued as a double compact disc together with Song of Compassion by Kereshmeh Records in the United States. The title NeyNava combines the words "ney" (a traditional Iranian end-blown flute) and "nava" (melody), and also echoes the name of the historical city of Nineveh. The work is a concerto for ney and string orchestra and is widely regarded as one of Alizadeh’s best-known compositions.[4] The piece blends elements of Persian classical music with formal structures characteristic of Western classical traditions, offering an example of intercultural dialogue in contemporary Iranian composition.[5] The ney solos in the recording are performed by Jamshid Andalibi.[6]
