Majid Entezami

Majid Entezami (Persian: مجید انتظامی) (born 9 March 1948) is an Iranian composer, conductor, musician[1] and oboist.

Besides that, his music for The Train, Once Upon A Time, Cinema, From Karkheh To Rhine, Attack on H-3, The Fragrance of Joseph's Shirt, Duel, A Place To Live, Intense Cold, The Saint Mary, The Men of Anjelos, The Wolves and The Loneliest General are some of his most notable, memorable and nostalgic works for Iranians.

After graduation he was forced to travel to Germany for a medical operation and decided to continue his studies at State University of West Berlin under the supervision of Karl Steins and Lothar Koch in 1968.

In 1973, Entezami came to Iran by the invitation of Tehran Symphony Orchestra and performed a successful Mozart concert as oboe soloist, conducted by Helge Dorsch.

After his return he has performed two oboe recitals with Lucette Martirossian on piano and harpsichord and Ivan Pristas on bassoon in 1976 and a concert with the Les Jeunesses Musicales de I’Iran orchestra conducted by Ali Rahbari and Valodia Tarkhanian as viola d’amore soloist.

At the time, one of his friends who had a position in Kanoon (Institute for the Intellectual Development of Children and Young Adults), Ahmadreza Ahmadi, suggested composing some music for contemporary poetry.

He also gives a brief hint as to what is going to happen next before the Lor Girl scenes by playing the main melody from that film together with a waltz.

In the last scene of the film, a picture of a fetus is shown, which is reminiscent of the movie 2001, A Space Odyssey by Stanley Kubrick.
