Music of Iran
The music of Iran has thousands of years of history dating back to the
Neolithic age as attested by the archeological evidence chiefly in Elam, one of
the earliest world civilizations in the south western Iran. A distinction needs
to be made between the science of Music or Musicology (Elm-e-Musighy) which as a
branch of mathematics has always been held in high regards in Iran; as opposed
to Music performance, (Tarab, Navakhteh, Tasneef, Taraneh or more recently Muzik)
which has had an uneasy and often acrimonious relationship with the religious
authorities and, in times of religious revival, with society as a whole.
