Series: Music and Performance in Muslim Contexts

Music Making in Iran from the 15th to the Early 20th Century looks at the change and evolution of music in Iran from both social and theoretical perspectives.

Amir Hosein Pourjavady scrutinises the emergence and development of modal entities, rules for modulation, the formation of court repertoires, the progress of rhythmic structures, vocal and instrumental genres and forms of composition. Through this lens, Hosein investigates how Iranian music has been impacted by Western influence, socio-political developments and contact with other musical cultures.

Reviews for Music Making in Iran from the 15th to the Early 20th Century

This book is a remarkable offering which bridges the divides between historical texts and modern practice, and between west, central and south Asian musical worlds with unflaggingly erudite and impressive scholarship. -- Martin Stokes, King's College London
