Persian classical music is a deeply expressive and refined genre rooted in Iran’s ancient musical traditions. It is based on the *dastgah* system, a modal framework that allows for intricate improvisation and emotional depth. Typically featuring instruments like the *tar*, *setar*, *kamancheh*, and *santur*, it blends delicate melodies with rich ornamentation. The music often incorporates poetic lyrics, drawing from Persian poets like Rumi and Hafez, and conveys themes of love, mysticism, and nature. Vocal performances, marked by ornamented phrasing and emotional intensity, are an essential element. Persian classical music embodies spiritual reflection, technical mastery, and deep cultural heritage.
