The Art of Avaz and Mohammad Reza Shajarian: Foundations and
Contexts, by Rob Simms and Amir Koushkani, examines the traditional art
of singing classical Persian poetry, as represented by its greatest
living exponent. This in-depth study surveys the social and historical
context of the twentieth-century tradition of avaz while placing
Shajarian’s early career within this complex culture, from being a child
prodigy of Qur’an recitation in Mashhad to his rise to national
prominence in the 1970s.
As a globetrotting celebrity who is
renowned for singing medieval poetry with impeccable technique and
radiant inspiration, Shajarian’s life and work provide a compelling case
study for larger issues of reconciling tradition and modernity, and the
crucial role of the individual in maintaining and renovating
traditional art forms. Avaz is discussed in the broader context of
Iranian narrative performance traditions, where the performer retells
well-known scripts in a way that is appropriate to the audience and the
present occasion, spinning the tale to convey a personal message.
Shajarian’s career also exemplifies the huge changes that Iranian
musical culture underwent in the 1960s and 70s. Finally, the study
includes a detailed examination of the materials and creative processes
of Shajarian’s artistic craft, including his acquisition process and
training, vocal technique, selection and treatment of poetry, use of
traditional musical materials, and his balance of engaging preset
materials with improvisation.
The Art of Avaz and Mohammad Reza
Shajarian is an impressively detailed study of the music, life, and
environment of the most influential musician in Iranian classical music
of the past three decades.
