| ____________________________________________________________ The nagmeh Afshari This auxiliary dastgah bears the name of one of the larger tribes. In thescale of shur, Afshari stresses the fourtn degreeas does abu ata, but the two naghmeh are quite different in character. Abu Ata starts on the second degree of shur and rises to the fourth,whereas Afshari opens on the fourth degree stresses it heavily,and then descends. Another difference is that Afshari has a changing tone,or moteghayer,on the fifth degree of shur,which may have two values differing by a quarter tone. Afshari is the naghmeh most independent of the parent dastgah ,for a performance of Afshari rarely ends in Shur. Three scale degrees of shur are prominent in the daramad of Afshari: the second,which is the ist of afshari; the fourth ,which is the shahed and the seventh,a decorating tone. Theorists write the scale of afshari from the seventh degree of shur: Bb C Dp Eb f G Ab Bb transported C D EP F G A Bb C. This transcription gives a scale with fewer accidentals than the one obtaind when Afshari is transposed from note of stopping,D-koron: Dp Eb F Ab Bb C Dp. The most important gusheh-ha belonging to Afshari are Araq and Rohab,both on th sixth degree.The 0rast kuk is F for tar and settar,B-flat for santur,and C for kamancky. ____________________________________________________________ |
