Like the Persian carpet-fine, intricate, and evocative-Persian music is one of Iran's most exquisite art forms. Yet it remains little known in the West. Intimate and spiritual, it is a solo, monophonic tradition marked by subtle melodies, rich modal variation, and a contemplative aesthetic distinct from the drama and harmonic complexity of Western music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book provides the essential tools for understanding Persian music-its history, instruments, repertory, structure, rhythms, and modal system (known as dastgāh). Drawing on quotes and anecdotes from master musicians past and present, it reveals the ethos and inner philosophy that animate this profound musical tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLavishly illustrated with images of instruments and musicians from museum collections around the world, as well as Persian poetry and calligraphy, the book introduces readers not only to the art of Persian music but to the broader aesthetic of Persian artistic expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough grounded in the latest scholarship, \u003cem\u003eThe Art of Persian Music\u003c\/em\u003e is written for the general reader.
