A lo contrario del libro de Jean During (disponible en formato .pdf aquí también), esta obra no está exclusivamente centrada en el aspecto técnico de la música de Irán sino más bien en sus vertientes histórica, social, artística y filosófica, comenzando por un breve repaso a la historia de la música en Irán y a su posición en la sociedad Iraní; a esta introducción le sigue una descripción de la estructura de la música persa. La parte más ligera viene a continuación con un repaso a los instrumentos de la Persia antigua para llegar hasta los instrumentos que son tocados hoy en día en Irán en el ámbito de la música clásico-tradicional.
Los autores emprenden luego un viaje por la poesía y la interdependencia de esta y de la música, basada en la métrica de los poemas, la voz, las melodías, los instrumentos, asi como la relación de la música con las otras artes y el misticismo, finalmente el libro concluye con un análisis más abstracto y una lección del maestro y coautor Dariush Safvat; Con "The Art of Persian Music" viene incluido un cd: "Anthology of persian music 1930-1990" lo que hace de este libro una obra muy completa, descáreguenselo!! Si alguien quiere el cd que deje un mensaje en esta entrada y ya nos apañaremos.
The Art of Persian Music presents, in a beautifully illustrated volume with accompanying CD, an expansive view of the art of traditional Persian classical music seen from its relationship with other artistic forms such as painting, poetry, and calligraphy. It provides the reader with a balance between musical analysis and contextual descriptions of the place of music in the arts and Its central connection to Persian mystical philosophy.
Mage Publishers has produced a book on Persian music intended for the musically inclined general reader, both Western and Iranian. Other than a few examples of rhythms, this book contains no musical notations but supplies many photographs of instruments, musicians, and paintings, as well as Persian poetry.
Although During is the primary author, this volume presents a multifaceted approach which includes the collaboration of and materials from Mirabdolbaghi and Safvat, in order to give both Western and Persian perspectives. The approach of all three authors, however, appears to have an essentially unified point of view.
This point of view is one commonly found in Iran among the elite circles of Persian musicians and musicologists and focuses on a pure "art" music tradition, the music of the radif, performed within the context of a mystical purpose and philosophy. Researchers trained in the Western academic tradition have generally focused on the analysis of dastgah and secondarily on the art of improvisation (Nettl Farhat, Sadeghi, Zonis). It has largely been the works of During and Safvat that have presented the metaphysical aspects of this art to the West.
