This work for large orchestra was dedicated to Shevket Mamedova, an Azerbaijani soprano.
The Turkish fragments contain dominant chimes strings and beats.
The Caravan has a steady ambitious beat and a characteristic Turkish melody that goes on for the entire piece and the loudest of all the Fragments.
At Rest is rhythmic but tranquil, with a central section of a livelier nature.
Night is a peaceful, more quiet part and respects its name; it has plenty of Turkish melodies and also has a central, livelier section.
