Does anyone here know anything about traditional Iranian music?
I try to learn more about the theory and practice of Iranian music by artists who study Radif, but this form of art is so "pure" it is really only transmitted from master their students, no one seems to have taken the trouble to write in a manner similar to all "books teach you, improvisation etc. piano classical music / jazz / 'we in the west. If they are, these books are apparently not available, even in university libraries, As far as I can find. So, does anyone know anything about this forum, or know someone who knows something, this kind of music? PS if anyone thinks to heckle me / me preach about sending in the classic category, know that classical music, just not the Western classical music.
Middle East (Iranian music) is extremely complex and I will try to give a reasonable answer: A large part of the Middle East is improvised music, but a lot of music is composed. Without the use of notation, the music is stored and transmitted by oral tradition. Middle Eastern classical music is variously ordered by their unique instruments and sounds. The leading instruments are essential: (specifically Iran) Chordophones:-plucked lutes appear in different sizes with neck Fretted or fretless and variable length. Ex tar Iran ouds.-fiddles are small, round instruments belly with a head of skin, strings vertical, played with a bow. Ex-Kamancheh Zithers are wooden instruments with strings parallel to the sound card. Santoor trapezoid contains 72 channels and is considered the national instrument of Iran. membranophones: conical drums (or darbucca tabl), including frame drums tambourines (daff and riqq) cut and shaped drums. aerophones: End blown flutes, oboes, like double-reed instruments (zornah, Surna), and the Persian qoshmeh. Music in Middle East is very social and based on religion. Much of the music in the Middle East is united with the beliefs of Islam. Islam holds study, the university of music theory in high esteem, however, not necessarily the music that was far from Islamic values. In this case, the song of the Koran, is considered the purest form of "music". (Even if most Muslims do not consider this music – Simply a form of devotion to their religion.) (Note: The word music is an entirely different meaning in the translation in the context of certain rituals Middle East. Ex secular versus spiritual and religious music.) In Iran, the musical patterns are called dastgah. This unit consists of a musical scale or collection of sites, which inspired the composer and is limited to during the creation of a single piece. The interval in Western music are not comparable to that of the music of the Middle East. The music of the Middle East are three-quarter tones and five quarter-tones and combinations thereof tones. These dastgah (More commonly known as general music of the Middle East as Maquam) are not just a collection of sites, but a series of short motifs and musical gestures that relate to the specific dastgah. In addition, all dastgah has a particular name. Ex Isfahan. The rhythmic structure or form is called Avaz in Persian music (or music taqsim in Arabic and Turkish) and is similar to the Talas in Indian music. The methods involve a series of rhythmic beats (20-25, or sometimes 7-16), some of which are stressed to create a set of subdivisions. This complicated system of rhythmic modes are compared to be in the explanation Western musical notation, a combination of various meters combined and mixed. (It's just really hard to explain without me fighting for you.) So, to put together in the composition or improvisation, a Avaz is selected and placed in a dastgah to inform the public and the artist scales, the identities of locations, and the reasons that should be used. Persian musicians in the study of Iran's repertoire music known as radif more commonly known by the name of their teacher radif – a band consisting of 250-300 short pieces, memorized by the students and then used as a basis for improvised performance. When the Radif is transformed into a more formal performance, the most prestigious, the Avaz improvisation, comes later and is preceded by less prestigious compound compositions. The radif himself and the music that reflect the important values derived from cultures Iran and the principles of social behavior. If you have further questions, there are numerous scholarly articles on jstor.org of Persian classical music.
