About
The Music of Persia Ensemble is a UCLA ethnomusicology course in Persian classical music, built around the radif repertoire and vocal tasnifs. Students sit in a circle and learn each gushe, or short melody type, phrase by phrase through imitation and memorization, with each quarter devoted to one dastgah and four vocal pieces in it. Sections cover setar and tar or the tombak and daf drums, and students who already play santur, ney, kamancheh, oud, qanun or violin can also take part.
