Persian classical music

Persian classical music, known as "music of the Persian tradition," is a rich and intricate art form that has evolved over centuries. It typically features a variety of instruments, such as the santur (hammered dulcimer), tar (stringed instrument), and ney (reed flute). The music is based on a system of modes called "dastgahs," which provide a framework for improvisation and expression. Performers often blend vocal and instrumental music, using poetic texts to convey deep emotions. This genre emphasizes emotional depth, spiritual themes, and cultural storytelling, reflecting the history and identity of Iranian civilization.
