Music Theory in the Safavid Era (eBook, PDF)

The taqsim al-nagamat

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The Safavid era (1501-1722) is one of the most important in the history of Persian culture, celebrated especially for its architecture and art, including miniature paintings that frequently represent singers and instrumentalists. Their presence reflects a sophisticated tradition of music making that was an integral part of court life, yet it is one that remains little known, for the musicological literature of the period is rather thin. There is, however, a significant exception: the text presented and analysed here, a hitherto unpublished and anonymous theoretical work of the middle or second half of the sixteenth century.
