The
Secretary
of Music
Department
of the
Isfahan
School
Conference,
Fariba
Afkari
pointed
out,
“unfortunately
the
sources
of
written
profound
researches
on the
music of
Safavid
Era are
rare and
the
remained
scholarly
works
are
limited
to some
amendments
on a
number
of
pamphlets
and
manuscripts.”
She
followed,
“the
music of
Safavid
Era is
observable
in terms
of the
introduction
of the
first
European
musical
instruments
to
Safavid
court,
also in
the view
of
religious
music or
Tazia,
etc.”
For
Afkari
the
holding
of the
Grand
Isfahan
School
Conference
and
specialized
look to
the art
and
literature
of
Safavid
Era is a
major
step
toward
the
recognition
and
consideration
of
various
aspects
of arts
in this
era.
“For
more
utilization
of the
scholarly
capabilities
in
respect
to the
music of
Safavid
Era,
last
week the
music
department
held a
joint
session
in the
presence
of
Isfahani
meastros,
academics
and
scholars,”
she
said.
The
Secretary
of Music
Department
of
Isfahan
School
regarded
such
joint
expert
sessions
as an
appropriate
way for
initiating
cooperation
among
the
artists
and
scholars
and
said,
“in
this
last
session,
the
proposed
discussions
for
presenting
articles
and
doing
researches
included:
the
interdisciplinary
relation
of music
and
sociology,
music
and
anthropology,
and
musical
tonality
in the
tazias
of
Safavid
Era
It must
be
pointed
out that
the
secretariat
of the
Grand
Isfahan
School
Conference
is
prepared
to
receive
articles
of
experts
and
scholars
in eight
various
artistic
and
literary
fields
by the
