Composed on 6/12/2011 in 4 movements, Impetus contains a collections of my techniques and thoughts about composing; for example only forte dynamics are utilized all over the composition in order to impose performers to select a severe manner with their instruments.

I understand something like Mozart but a little moderner in this composition. I can name that postmodern but prefer to mention it under the subtitle A Return to the Past because for me such compositions in my collection are written to show a travel in the time!

Greensleeves is a 16th century English folk song that I have heard it in my childhood from a cartoon.

It is one of my first approaches to Permanent Enharmonic that I have mentioned in the descriptions of some of my compositions like An Angel for String Orchestra. Wormholefor String Quartet sounds modern and pretty, doesn't it?
Zurvan is the God of Time in the legends of ancient Iran. After that yes! You can clearly distinguish the Neoclassic quality in the canon-like character of the instruments and their combination in a String Quartet.
Fugal rondo is one of my favorite forms that I have made by combination of fugue-like character of a refrain or principle theme and repeat-based character of the rondo form.
In this composition for Quintet of Guitar and String Quartet, generally I have composed the episodes or contrasting themes for guitar and the refrain for the quartet. These two units are encountered to each other and sound a good level of aesthetic balance in utilizing the instruments during the composition.
I have written that for the same trio of 2 Guilanian Pop Melodies above. this composition has 3 movements and the III is another version of the first tempo of Eternal Feel for String Orchestra.
