Persian Poetry and Music - enduring treasures

#Life #Member #LMAG
Share
This presentation includes two parts: poetry and music.
 
The Persian language has endured for more than a millennium in its present form. The main reason for this is the rich Persian literature and, especially, poetry. Perhaps, the best-known Persian poets in the west are Khayyam and Rumi. Although they deserve the fame, Persian poetry is so much more.
 
The first part of the presentation will provide a glimpse into the vast treasure of Persian poetry. It will start with a quick geographical/historical perspective on Iran and Persia . Then a brief background on the Persian language will be provided, followed by an introduction to Persian poetry, its structure and styles. Some prominent classical poets with samples of their work will be presented.
 
In the second part, traditional Iranian (Persian) music will be introduced through a brief history of this music: by scale (modal) differences between the "Western Classical Music" and this music, and by the characteristics of presently known Persian music.  Some samples of different instruments will be shown, and some melodies will be played.
 
This will be a Zoom event.
