- Les Heures persanes (English: The Persian Hours), Op. 65, is one of the most famous works of the French composer Charles Koechlin. It is based on the French novelist and traveller Pierre Loti’s Vers Ispahan, detailing his journey across Persia. Koechlin’s hour-long work is a series of pieces - condensed into just two-and-a-half days - that captures and distils the scents and sounds of this faraway land. The Persian Hours includes 16 pieces for piano composed between 1913 and 1919. Koechlin prepared an orchestral version of the piece as well. The Persian Hours is a difficult work to record. It is an atmospheric work, mostly very slow and dreamy, and except for three or four movements (Travers les Rues; the mini-tone-poem Le Conteur; and the final Dervishes dans la nuit) is often extremely quiet. The orchestration is delicate and subtle, and it is entirely typical of Koechlin that although the piece is harmonically extremely audacious for its time (1913–19), the music is so subdued that its frequent polytonal or atonal basis might not be immediately apparent.

- Les Heures persanes op. 65, forment un cycle de seize pièces pour piano, composé par Charles Koechlin entre 1913 et 1919, et orchestré en 1921 (op. 65 bis), inspiré par le récit de voyage de Pierre Loti, Vers Ispahan, publié en 1904. Les seize pièces du recueil condensent sur 2 jours la première partie seulement d'un voyage de 6 semaines environ ; on gagne cependant à lire le récit de Pierre Loti pour bien comprendre l'atmosphère particulière de l'évocation musicale qu'en fait Koechlin. Le début du Prologue de Loti en donne déjà une petite idée : « Qui veut venir avec moi voir à Ispahan la saison des roses, prenne son parti de cheminer lentement à mes côtés, par étapes, ainsi qu’au Moyen Age. », etc. (fr)
