Agshin Aligulu Alizade (Azerbaijani: Aqşin Əlizadə, Cyrillic: Акшин Ализаде; born May 22, 1937, Baku) - Soviet and Azerbaijani composer, People's Artist of Azerbaijan SSR (1987). Alizade made a significant contribution to the development of the Azerbaijani ballet. He was the creator of the first in Azerbaijan heroic epic ballet "Babak", established in 1979 on the poem by Ilya Selvinsky (premiered in 1986). The next ballet "Journey to the Caucasus",which reflected the events of the history of Azerbaijan and the image of the poet Khurshid banu Natavan and the French writer Alexandre Dumas, embodied the vital problems of modern history, as if expressing the principle of "the past in the present." The same trend projections of past events in modern life emerged in the last one-act ballet "Waltz of Hope." Alizade headed the Union of Composers of Azerbaijan and was the Secretary of the Union of Soviet Composers.
