In this book Owen Wright analyses a single recording of classical
Persian music made by Touraj Kiaras, a distinguished singer,
accompanied by four noted instrumentalists. The format of the
recording is typical of a public concert performance, and thus
includes instrumental compositions as well as a central exploration
of vocal repertoire and technique. The analysis identifies salient
structural features, whether of the individual components or of the
whole, in a way accessible to the western reader, but it also takes
account of the analytical metalanguage used in Persian scholarship,
and includes consideration of the relationship between music and
poetry. It is important to note that it is also guided by the
perceptions of the performer, whose input and responses to
questions have significantly influenced the enterprise. To avoid
the dryly impersonal, the analysis is also framed by an
introduction which combines a biographical sketch of Touraj Kiaras
with a survey of the twentieth-century evolution of Persian
classical music and of the position of the vocal repertoire within
it, and by an epilogue which examines further the ideological basis
of prevalent attitudes to music, and seeks to explore the validity
of the analytical enterprise within this context.
