Hi Judith,
Do you know if there are any references cited on the cd? I am just curious to know if this is something that Mr. Kiani came up with or if there is an academic basis to these claims (such as psychology, musicology, history etc). I have seen and heard him talk about these ideas about Dastgah music on TV. I also read an article about one of his lectures. He is a great master of Santoor but his ideas about the Dastgah seem too "creative."
Regards,
Peyman

Dear all,I have a question referring the dastgah-e shur which might perhaps seem amateurish to you. But I would appreciate your help. Once I heard that this dastgah is associated with a noble mind and a mature personality but at the same time also with new beginning and spring time. I would like to ask how the idea of the first two terms matches the idea of new beginning. In the CD booklet of Ostad Majid Kianis "Haft-Dastgah-e Musighi-e Iran" I read that the dastgah-e shur is related to the dusk, the start of creation, new birth, continuation of life as well as to the struggle, the search and the yearning for spiritual enlightenment. Is this enlightenment seen as a new creation or in which way is it associated with the genesis? Best regards,Judith Zech
