These songs are sourced from verses by the Persian poet, mathematician, and astronomer, Omar Khayyam (1048-1131).

This collection consists of 9 separate guitar and voice settings of various verses using the English translation done by Edward Fitzgerald in 1859 - the pieces may be performed in any combination and not necessarily as a whole cycle.
