Music Making in Iran from the 15th to the Early 20th Century looks at the change and evolution of music in Iran from both social and theoretical perspectives. Amir Hosein Pourjavady scrutinises the emergence and development of modal entities, rules for modulation, the formation of court repertoires, the progress of rhythmic structures, vocal and instrumental genres and forms of composition. Through this lens, Hosein investigates how Iranian music has been impacted by Western influence, socio-political developments and contact with other musical cultures.
Amir Hosein Pourjavady earned his Ph.D. in ethnomusicology from CUNY, Graduate Center where he studied with Stephen Blum. He taught at the University of Tehran as well as UCLA for many years. His publications include the edition of several musical treatises, numerous articles, encyclopedia entries, book reviews and CDs. Dr. Pourjavady is also an accomplished Persian setār player and has performed widely with celebrated Iranian musicians.
