    Persian Symphonic Music

    Uploaded by

    Mehrdad Ghaffari
    Persian symphonic music refers to pieces composed by Persian composers for Western ensembles, based on Persian folk and classical melodies. The earliest serious works were composed in the 1930s, with growing popularity in subsequent decades. However, many symphonic pieces by Persian composers have yet to be performed or recorded due to financial and political issues in Iran. While some critics argue against combining Persian and Western music styles, composers have found ways to integrate the differing musical scales.

    Critics

    Behzad Abdi

    Some critics reject combining Persian music with Western orchestration because of diering intervallic distances between Persian and Western scales but the composers have found several ways to solve such problems.
    Some claim they can add more to World Symphonic music literature by this way.
