Original Iranian instruments + the difference between Iranian and Western music
Can Iranian notes be played on Western instruments? Only a professional can tell the difference between authentic oriental music.
Instruments of the Iranian regions consist of two parts:
• The first part is the instruments of the Persian regions, which include jog, choghro, jarig, derek, different types of circle and daf, various types of dahl and jreh, various types of tambour, local tombak, kuzk, finger gauge, crepe, horn, different types of serena, white bead, Types of local reeds, Lebak reeds, local flutes, paired reeds, fiqo, sutak, horns of nafir, belbon, harps, cans and irons.
• The second part also includes a selection of instruments from other provinces of the country, most of which are of considerable antiquity; So that even some of them are considered obsolete instruments.
From the distant past, music has had a special place due to its profound effect on the human soul, and it is enough to name music as the first art among the seven arts. Whether the miraculous sound of birds and other elements of nature, or the original traditional music that is formed from the depths of a composer's soul on the sheet music of a notebook, all show the infinite power of the art of music. This endless power and character of music has caused governments and dignitaries at different times in history to never be able to silence the precious sound of music, despite many efforts.
In Iran, due to the multiculturalism of ethnicities and nations, there are different instruments and music. Turkish, Kurdish, Lori, Bakhtiari, Khorasani, North, South and و are considered as one of the types of Iranian music. A large part of the music of the regions of Iran can be found side by side with traditional music, and this is why the legends of Iranian traditional music always add its unique colors to the texture of their music and its richness more than ever. Do more.
A look at traditional Iranian music
In order to clearly understand the scope of the difference, we base Iranian music as it should be in principle. Of course, although the original and real form of Iranian music has been forgotten, there are still pure music scholars who believe in the roots of their identity and culture and perform Iranian music as it should be performed in practice.
The first point in the original Iranian music is that it is based on the system of instruments, songs and corners; But Western music follows a system of steps and tones.
Iranian music has a week of instruments and five songs, each of which has its own stage. The word "step", which is derived from Western music, was used to indicate the esoteric similarity, the esoteric difference between the two types of music, especially in this context.
Common weakness of western and traditional music
In ancient history, as stated, the maintenance and transportation of structures was considered a crime, let alone training and execution and production of durable parts and thinking and innovation and initiative to change and build new structures.
This issue has caused the lack of large and non-portable instruments in classical music. This issue is one of the main weaknesses of Iranian musical instruments, due to which it is not possible to play low-frequency notes in the old and original instruments of our country and the existing instruments. They cover a small range of musical octaves.
This was one of the main reasons why Western music masters in the past tried to solve it in the structure of instruments and even invented new instruments, which in our share of music is limited to the last few years. However, there is a long way to go before these structures fall into place.
