Music
Iranians are great music lovers and during the
course of their twenty-five centuries of their
recorded history, they have developed not only a
very distinctive music of their own but also
numerous musical instruments, several of which were
the first prototypes of the modern musical
instruments of toDay.
The first references to musicians in Iran are found
in Susa, Elam, in the 27th century BC. The earliest
representation of instruments is on the Elamite
relief of Kul-e Ferawn. An engraved bronze cup from
Lurestan at the National Museum of Iran, Tehran,
portrays a double nay (reed pipes), chang (harp) and
Dayereh (tambourine) in a shrine or court
processional, as similarly documented in Egypt,
Elam, and Babylonia where music involved the
utilization of large orchestral ensembles. The
Assurbanipal reliefs (626 BC) in the British Museum
show Susan musicians. Other relief sculpture and
paintings still extant from early periods depict
instruments as they are toDay, except that some,
like the harp seen on the Taq-e Bostan reliefs near
Kermanshah, have gone out of use.
usic continued to play an important role in the
lives of the Persians throughout their history, with
its continuity well documented in the Safavid
frescoes of the Chehel Sutun in Esfahan, dated 1647
AD. A major revival in Persian music has its
inception late in the reign of Nasser od-Din Shah
(died in 1896 AD), who commanded the establishment
of the House of Crafts, a center where all important
craftsmen could be gathered for making and marketing
their instruments.
