Chords were formed from two hexachords, which together with their inversions and transpositions were used to harmonize a chromatic melody. The instrumentation refers to influences from middle eastern and gipsy music.
The Kurdish text quotes passages from the Song of Solomon.
lyrics
from: Song of Solomon
Your lips are like a scarlet cord, and your mouth is lovely.
Your temples are behind your veil like a slice of pomegranate.
Refrain: How beautiful is your love, my dear bride!
