Hamnava'i is a highly energetic and alive piece. The title Hamnava'i, which means ``becoming one in musical expression'', implies a special emotional relationship among the three performers. It is the product of a meeting of individual virtuosity and group harmony. It incorporates complex rhythmic structures and features experiments with new principles of polyphony in Persian music.
