Azeri Musiqi Dünyasi

[RedWine]

The musical art of Azerbaijan has very old sources, coming from the very depths of ancient times. The manuscripts of Azerbaijani musical-scientists and historians of the XI, XII, XIV, XV and XIX centuries, also the immortal works of Nizami and his contemporaries, such as the poetess Mehsety and the poet Mujereddin Beylagany, testify to the highest stage of development of musical art of Azerbaijani nation.

“In Karabakh and different cities of Azerbaijan there were a lot of singers, musicians, sazandas*, flautists and dancers. Along the villages and cities traveled the national singers– ashugs and ozans**, accompanying their songs with music on string, wind and percussion instruments. On the squares and in the palaces were held competitions of performers (singers, dancers)”. («История Азербайджана» the issue of the Azerbaijan Academy of Science, 1958, volume I). In the development of musical art in XII-XIV cent, the important role of Safiyeddin Abdul Momyn should be mentioned. According to the information of the same issue of Azerbaijan Academy of Sciences he “… wrote the significant works in the sphere of music including “Kitabul advar” (“The book of epoch”) and created a number of classical mughams ”. The outstanding persons involved in the musical art of the second half of XIV and XV centuries were also Mohammed Abubakr oghlu and Abdul Kadir Marageyi, who created the complex forms of Mughams, melodies for dancing and singing, which became the classical heritage of the nation and became widespread not only in Azerbaijan but also in other countries of the East. The ancient samples of musical folklore presented by the instrumental music and singing creativity, transiting from generation to generation have passed down to our days and are considered to be the strong basis on which at the beginning of XX century the Azerbaijan nation began to build up its professional music.

Music of Azerbaijan includes various arrays of styles that reflects influences from the musics of the Caucasus, Central Asia, and Iran. Azerbaijan also has a lot in common with Armenian and Persian music.

The classical music of Azerbaijan is called mugam (more accurately spelled muğam), and is usually a suite with poetry and instrumental interludes. The sung poetry sometimes includes tahrir segments, which use a form of throat singing similar to yodelling. The poetry is typically about divine love and is most often linked to Sufi Islam.

In contrast to the mugam traditions of other Central Asian countries, Azeri mugam is more free-form and less rigid; it is often compared to the improvised field of jazz.

UNESCO proclaimed the Azerbaijani mugam tradition a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity on November 7, 2003.

The stringed instruments tar (skin faced lute), the kamancha (skin faced spike fiddle), the oud, originally barbat, and the saz (long necked lute); the reeded wind instrument balaban, the frame drum ghaval, the cylindrical double faced drum naghara(davul), and the goshe nagara(Naqareh) (pair of small kettle drums). Other instruments include the zurna (reeded horn), garmon (small accordion), tutek (whistle flute), garmon (accordion), daf and dhol (drum).

Ashiqs are travelling bards who sing and play the saz, a form of lute. Their songs are semi-improvised around a common base.

Azeri Musicians
The most famous contemporary Azeri musicians are perhaps jazz singer Aziza Mustafa Zadeh and her father, Vagif Mustafa Zadeh, who are quite popular internationally in jazz circles.

The traditional music of Azerbaijan can be divided into two main parts: a “professional” part, in other words, one reserved to highly qualified and trained musicians, and a popular part, whose use does not necessitate a particular qualification. The first domain is that of the art of Mugam, as well as that of the bards (´âshuqs), whereas the second comprises the so-called folk music. A third domain can be assigned to urbane centres and their entertainment music, which includes elements of all domains, as well as western influences. The “musique savante” or professional music can be divvied up roughly into two zones: the north of the country and a part of Karabagh with a special preference for the art of Mugam, while the south is famous for the cultivation of the art of the bards.Both traditions have close ties, of course. However, there are certain differences: Contrary to the music of the bards, Mugam music can also be purely instrumental. An instrumental solo, a very important part of Mugam music is very rare in the art of the ´âshuqs, reserved for a few exceptional virtuosos. The art of the bards therefore consists almost exclusively of song, whose leeway for interpretation is rather narrow. Its tradition is purely oral, while Mugam is often based on ancient texts. To work out the specificities of all Azeri musical traditions is, however, extremely complicated, since they all follow a very dense structure that is sometimes hard to comprehend with western concepts of music in mind..
