Persian music on SongPeddler.com is any music with music traditions originating from the Central Asian region of Iran and is also sometimes included in a sub-category of Middle Eastern regional influences. Iranian/Persian music is unique in the Middle Eastern tradition in that the different melodic phrases, or gushes are supposed to model the rhythmic stamp and melodic pattern of poetry. Similar to other Central Asian music, Persian music is mainly monophonic, with each instrument in an ensemble following one melodic scheme, however, Persian melodies are concentrated on a relatively narrow register and melodic movement occurs by conjunct steps. The music is based upon a modal system; with each mode engendering different melodic types, called gushehs in Farsi. The execution of the melodic types are left up to the musician. Emphasis is on cadence, symmetry, and motivic repetition at different pitches. Rhythmic patterns are kept simple and the tempo is often rapid, and the ornamentation is dense.
Music without words means leaving behind the mind. And leaving behind the mind is meditation.
Meditation returns you to the source. And the source of all is sound. — Kabir
