It's called "Half Moon," composed by Ali Rahbari. How can I find a recording of it? <br /><br /> Over the years my father has occasionally asked me to locate a piece of music he heard once and really enjoyed. He figured that I could find anything he requested, but he'd sadly overestimated my googling-skills. <br> <br> Composer: Ali (Alexander) Rahbari <br> Title: Half Moon<br> For african choir and symphonic orchestra <br> <br> He thinks the performance he heard was performed live by South Africa's National Symphony Orchestra, possibly with a Soweto choir and broadcast live on SABC (radio).<br> <br> I can't easily find any recordings of the work and I wonder if any music, internet, shopping, or radio archive experts have any ideas on how I can finally satisfy my father's desire to hear this again. post:ask.metafilter.com,2009:site.126427 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 15:51:57 -0800 ashputtel music http://ask.metafilter.com/126427/Help-me-find-a-recording-of-Half-Moon-by-Ali-Rahbari#1805909 You could perhaps contact his (Stockholm based) management <a href="http://www.artira.com/rahbari/frame_main.htm">here </a>and ask them. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2009:site.126427-1805909 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 16:22:36 -0800 rongorongo http://ask.metafilter.com/126427/Help-me-find-a-recording-of-Half-Moon-by-Ali-Rahbari#1805913 ...and<a href="http://www.artira.com/rahbari/repertoire.htm#COMPOSITIONS"> this page</a> lists the composition you are talking about - dating it to 1984 comment:ask.metafilter.com,2009:site.126427-1805913 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 16:29:08 -0800 rongorongo
