Habib Samaei
Habib Samaei (, born 1905 – 11 July 1946), also written as Habib Somā'i, was an Iranian musician, santoor player and music teacher. He has been referred to as the "father of contemporary Iranian santoor playing". Biography Habib Samaei was born in 1905 in Tehran, Qajar Iran. His father, Habib Soma Hozour, was a famous musician of the Qajar period, and his son introduced Habib to music from the age of four. Young Samaei at this time played the tombak (a type of drum) while his father playing the santoor. Because of Samaei's small size, he placed the instrument on his pillow and accompanied his father. After the age of six, his father began teaching Samaei to play the santoor. In the book "History of Iranian Music", Ruhollah Khaleqi writes in part of his memoir about his first meeting with Soma Hozour and his young son: "... Soma Hozour pull a towel on the santoor, held the mallets and began to play. He had not hit a few more beats when he pointed to his son, to picked up the ...

Tehran
Tehran (; fa, تهران ) is the largest city in Tehran Province and the capital of Iran.

It is ranked 24th in the world by metropolitan area population. In the Classical era, part of the territory of present-day Tehran was occupied by Rhages, a prominent Median city destroyed in the medieval Arab, Turkic, and Mongol invasions. Modern Ray is an urban area absorbed into the metropolitan area of Greater Tehran. Tehran was first chosen as the capital of Iran by Agha Mohammad Khan of the Qajar dynasty in 1786, because of its proximity to Iran's territories in the Caucasus, then separated from Iran in the Russo-Iranian Wars, to avoid the vying factions of the previously ruling Iranian dynasties. The capital has been ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Dastgāh-e Šur
Dastgāh-e Šur ( fa, دستگاه شور; az, Şur) is one of the seven ''Dastgāh''s of Persian Music (Classically, Persian Music is organized into seven ''Dastgāhs'' and five '' Āvāz''es, however from a merely technical point of view, one can consider them as an ensemble of 12 ''Dastgāh''s). Introduction ''Šur'' is in some respects the most important of the ''Dastgāh''s. It contains a large body of pieces, and in its domain belong four important '' Āvāz''es: '' Dašti'', '' Abuatā'', '' Bayāt-e Tork'' and '' Afšāri''. A great many folk tunes, from different parts of Persia, are founded on the modal schemes of ''Šur'' or its derivative ''Dastgāh''s and ''Guše''s. The melodic formation in ''Šur'' is conceived within the modal structure shown below for ''Šur D'' : :: The characteristics of this mode are: # The tetrachord above the finalis (marked with "F") is the focal point of melodic activity. # The finalis is the most emphasized tone. # The 4th above is th ...

Dastgāh-e Māhur
Dastgāh-e Māhūr or Dastgaah-e Maahur ( fa, دستگاه ماهور) is one of the seven ''Dastgāh''s of Persian Music (Classically, Persian Music is organized into seven ''Dastgāhs'' and five '' Āvāz''es, however from a merely technical point of view, one can consider them as an ensemble of 12 ''Dastgāh''s). Introduction The intervallic structure of the mode of ''Māhur'' partly parallels that of the major mode in western classic music. Yet, because of the other elements which go into the making of Persian modes, probably no melody in the major mode can be said to be in the mode of ''Māhur''. A far closer analogue from an intervallic standpoint is the Obikhod scale (widespread in Russian medieval Znamenny chant and folk song) and the Jewish Adonai malakh mode. The modal structure of ''Māhur'' is shown below for ''Māhur C'' : :: The characteristics of this mode are: # The range is unusually wide, a minor 10th. # The finalis (marked "Ā,F") has a central position; it is ...
