Azeri Musiqi Dünyasi
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.
