This music is inspired by The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, Persia's classic poem of divine love. The Indian word "raga" refers to the particular set of notes and embellishments that create a mood or "color" of the mind.

Originally conceived as a melody for the poem's well-loved English translation, the haunting theme expands in Raga Omar Khayyam to seamless sitar and tabla variations in the tradition of India.
