Rituals of Nowruz The music of Nowruz was not exclusively limited to the courtiers, since the very past till now the into different ranks during the Sassanian era and the Ashkanid dynasty. One rank belonged to the musicians with special position before the king. Evidence shows music was commonly played at the court in that era. Music underwent evolution after the advent of Islam. Shah Abbas (1588-1629 AD) of the Safavid era loved music so much. One of the masterpieces of that era called Aliqapu mansion, the king’s splendid palace and its upper floor called the music room. The walls of the room are equipped with stucco-work and cutout shapes that apart from their beauty act as tools to prevent musical echoes, so that sounds could be heard naturally. Shia Islam became the official religion of Iran during the Safavid era. This led to the development of religious music that in turn preserved lots of ancient melodies of Iran. Playing Naqareh, which is kind of drum, also played an important role in preserving Iran’s national music. The instrument was in vogue until the ending years of the Qajar dynasty. It fell out of fashion under Naseraddin Shah of Qajar, especially after Europeans gradually brought marshal music into Iran. Naqareh composed of two brass drums that join in the middle. It is played by a pair of beating sticks. Music became documented and disciplined in order to be taught to the royal family in the Qajar era. Aliakbar Khan Farahani was a Tarplayer and a musician who found his way into the court. He devised Radifs for Iranian music in seven dastgahs (musical systems). His classification currently taught at universities. Finally in 1940 Iran’s first radio broadcaster started working. The radio played different Iranian and foreign music. That made music common in Iran. People in every part of the country could listen to music and great artists could make their compositions heard. Iran’s ancient music has had ups and downs during the course of history. It is now in our hands in modified way. Lots of renowned artists work in this field these days.
