Review
"Farhat's volume takes its place in musicological literature as an important contribution to scholarship on musical systems and as a lucid, useful, and satisfying introduction to one of the great Middle Eastern classical traditions." Notes
Product Description
In traditional Persian art music embodies twelve dastgahs consisting of skeletal melodic models that form the musical "vocabulary" from which performers produce extemporized pieces. Hormoz Farhat unravels the dastgahs' art, analyzing their intervalic structure, melodic patterns, modulations, and improvisations. This book also includes an examination of composed pieces which in recent times have become part of the classical repertoire.
