Year of Nizami Gyanjevi
We continue the column dedicated to the 880th anniversary of the great Azerbaijani poet and thinker Nizami Ganjevi. The first of Azerbaijani composers to address Nizami Ganjevi was Kara Karayev, who, then a student of the Moscow Conservatory, in July-August 1939 wrote Three tesnifas - Leylie, Shirin and Saranjin Tesnifi - for voice and symphony orchestra. The melody used by the composer of the vocal party was recorded from the voice of the outstanding hanende Jabar Karyagda by musician Mamedsaleh Ismailov. The author's manuscript of tesnifs (only 30 pages) is stored in the State Museum of Music Culture of Azerbaijan, where it came from the daughter of composer Zuleikha Khanum Karaeva-Bagirovaya in 2021 in honor of the celebration of the anniversary of Nizami.
