Abstract :
Poetry and music are closely interlinked, but today their development has resulted in the gap between them. Nevertheless, we can see some historically relations between them and they are correlated and complementary to each other. Particularly, music doesn’t enjoy the required freshness. This article is an attempt to study the musical terms used in Khajoye Kermani’s Divan and to reveal the relations between the songs of the tonalities, branches and chansons. It means that if, for example, the poet has pointed to the Rast and Esfahan tonalities, their coincidence has not been accidentally occurred, but the poet has considered the musical relations of these two tonalities and the appropriateness of the songs. In this regard, we used the old musical books of Maghasedul-lahan, Jame0ul-lahan written by Maraghi and Bahor-ul-lahan written by Forsatudduleh Shirazi and also some today books and articles on music, in order to prove this claim.
