مرغ سحر ناله سر مکن
"Morning Bird Don't moan Don't cry" by Homay, performed at the Music Center at Strathmore, part of Washington DC concert on September 25, 2009.
Morning bird... don't moan, don't cry
Don't bring fresh tears to our now tired eyes
We are tired of moaning and crying
We are sad and broken-hearted
We are depressed
Don't deafen our ears with your cries
Don't moan, don't cry
..........
Don't deafen our ears with your cries
Don't moan, don't cry
Sing a happy song
Sing one of the hundreds of eternal songs
Sing of lovely spring
Don't ruin the rest of our life !
Don't moan, don't cry
The oppressions of the oppressors have always been there
The deceptions of enemies have always been there
Endless cruelties have always been there
The oppressions of the oppressors have always been there
Punch the oppressors in the mouth !
Don't forgive their crimes !
Don't moan, don't cry
Even if you have to bleed... your own face bloodied...
That's better than confessing your secret [to your enemy]
Don't complain to your enemies ( don't bend in front of your enemies)
Don't inform your enemies
Don't moan don't cry
Morning bird......(repeats the first few lines)

The highly acclaimed Iranian musical phenomena, Homay and The Mastan Ensemble return to the Walt Disney Concert Hall on August 16, 2009 at 7 p.m. to perform another exceptional collection of the latest compositions by Homay, with symphony arrangement by Maestro Shardad Rohani. During the first part of this program, the Ensemble will perform an operetta, written by Homay, inspired from the story of ‘Moses and The Shepherd’ by Rumi (Mowlana) written in Aarefan e Raaz by Dr. Mahmoodi Bakhtiari. The part of ‘Moses’ will be performed by the well-known and talented Iranian singer, Soley Vaseghi, ‘The Shepherd’ by Homay and the third character, ‘Raavi’ or ‘The Storyteller’ by the published author and award-winning journalist, Homa Sarshar. The operetta will be followed by several masterpieces by Maestro Rohani. In part two of this concert, the latest compositions by Homay and Maestro Rohani will be performed by the Ensemble.
“These were mesmerizing performances that produced a euphoric goodwill in the listener, a feeling that lingered long after departure from the concert hall.” LA Times-July 2008
Since early 2009, Parvaz Homay has been banned by the Iranian government officials to perform any of his musical pieces publically in Iran. This is especially difficult for Homay, since he is a true patriot to his motherland Iran and its people and lives through his music. One of his latest compositions is a very special piece called “Sarzamin e Be Karan” or “Boundless Land”, with symphony arrangement by Maestro Rohani, dedicated to the people of Iran. The August 16th performance at the Walt Disney Concert Hall will be his first public concert since The Mastan Ensemble’s final concert series in Homay’s hometown in northern Iran, which took place during eight consecutive sold-out evenings, attended by their devoted local Iranian fans, consisting of all ages, five to eighty-years old; specially the youth inspired by Homay’s music and talent.
During their 2008 U.S. and Canada Tour, The Ensemble preformed at some of the most renowned stages, including Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, Strathmore in Washington, D.C. and Roy Thomson Hall in Toronto, Canada. The 2009 U.S. Tour will once again include venues such as Lincoln Center in New York City and of course Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. Homay strives to collaborate with accomplished artists and musicians, both inside and outside of Iran and prides himself in always setting the bar higher in bringing innovation into his music, showcasing the Iranian classical music in the global world music scene, to gain the recognition it deserves. He has many other unique musical projects and collaborations in mind, which he hopes to bring to fruition, if permitted.
Homay and The Mastan Ensemble will continue their U.S. and Canada Tour, following the Los Angeles performance in other cities, including: San Francisco, Seattle, San Diego, Houston, Dallas, New York, Washington, Chicago, Louisville, Atlanta, Toronto and Vancouver.

Media inquiries are encouraged to further share the message of these talented artists globally, who have overcome many obstacles to be able to pursue their passion, and have traveled to the United States with the help of supporters of the Persian traditions and music. Sample of their music is available upon request.

Mastan Was Green in Berlin

- تردید نکن سپیده سرخواهد زد . خواب ازسرمان دوباره پرخواهد زد
- تردید نکن کسی ز نسل خورشید ، بر ریشه ی خشک شب تبرخواهد زد
- دستان سحر به استخاره روزی ، تسبیح به قصد خیر و شر خواهد زد
- طوفان زده ایم وناخدایی ازنو، درموج بلا دل به خطر خواهد زد
- بازوی عدالتی دگر می آید، تیپا به بساط زور و زر خواهد زد
- یک روز اراده ی بشر زنجیری ، بر پای همین قضا قدر خواهد زد
- این آتش خفته زیر خاکستر باز ، صد شعله به جان خشک و تر خواهد زد
- هر (قاصدکی) پیام بیداری را بر دوش گرفته ، باز در خواهد زد
