Mehre Penhan (“The Hidden Love”) is based on a ghazal by Rumi that reflects the eternal connection between human love and divine spirit. Written for a cappella choir, the piece weaves Persian melodic sensibility into contemporary choral textures. Layers of voices merge and separate, symbolizing the hidden yet radiant nature of love that transcends form and time. Through delicate harmonies and expressive dynamics, the work invites listeners into a space of inner reflection—where silence, devotion, and unity become one resonant voice.
