  Some scholars believe that the history of “Samak Ayyar” story roots in pre-Islamic era and possibly in Parthia era. The comparative article is a comparison on educations provided and skills taught for “Khorshid Shah”, one the main heroes of “Samak Ayyar” book (written in 585 Hegira) and “well-ambitious Ridak”, one of the Sassanid noblemen (The Pahlavi Text of Khosrow Ghobadan and Ridaki);. There are many similarities between their educations that can strengthen this possibility that Samak Ayyar is a pre-Islamic story. Research Method is a Library one and based on evidences from these two texts and attempts to prove abovementioned point. Manuscript profile

  Repetition in level of letters and words, which is one of the methods of creating and or increasing the music of speech, can be reviewed from two perspectives: first, from musical values and second from rhetorical values. The study uses descriptive and analytic methods to review the different kinds and methods of letter repetition in Farrokhi Sistani poem. The findings show that Sistani orator applied all repetition methods in widespread amount in his speech. Continuous repetitions of letters, words, syllables, phrases and even hemistich with different methods filled Farrokhi poetry with Musical bunches of phones. In some cases, he created new methods of repetition which increase the musical richness of his speech. These repetitions are so valuable from rhetorical aspect that there are many evidences in Farrokhi poetry that letter repetition or word proportionate to poetry theme serve the semantic transfer and poetry content and sometimes help in inspiration of given emotion of poet.

  One of the main areas whose historical evolution was highly affected by composers and narrators from ancient time to Islamic era is Shahname-composing and verbal epics. Composing hymns and forming narrations and epic stories via combining and quoting broadcasting of these narrations had made many epic stories. Ancient kinds of narrators like musicians, singers and minstrels were replaced by later narrators of later eras like narrator-nightingales and storytellers; forming written literature based on oral (i.e. unwritten) literature is the most important feature in this area. This article dealt with the status of oral narration tradition in ancient Iran and continuing of literary traditions related to this in Shahname-composing and forming oral Persian epics in Islamic Era Literature and reviewed the role of these narrator-composers in process of rhyming epic narrations.

  Hadiss are considered as major principles in the recognition of Islam and the acquisition of epistemology. The present essay discusses the literary and artistic methods, and techniques used in Hadiss. Utilizing an artistic and literary language is among the special characteristics in the forming the structure of Hadiss. In the artistic and literary manifestations of Hadiss numerous dimensions are mentioned; among which music, image and structure are known as the tools and elements used. The existence of such elements in Hadiss has led to the formation of both artistic and literary aspects within these words; mainly Prophet Mohammad’s words of advice; while one can point to the harmony and coordination, pun, cohesion, coherence, arithmetic conjunction, and phonetic system in Hadiss; as these factors form the overall structure and music of these words. Another major element in the formation of the artistic and literary form of Hadiss, is using image for enriching the mentioned concepts in their text. The present paper points to the above tools and elements in theoretical literature, following it a number of Hadiss are surveyed as examples. Manuscript profile

  Housein Pejman Bakhtyari (1297-1353) one of the romantic poets has composed with regards to aesthetics models of Iranian ancient poem. According to our knowledge, old poem with its various forms sustained after contemporary modernisms, and dedicated almost prominent poets to contemporary culture and art. Pejman Bakhtyari, is of the same grade poets like Radi Azarakhshi, Rahi Moayeri, Amiri firozkoohi, vahid Dastjerdy and Forouzanfar. He is one of contemporary poets whose poems have not been investigated in detail up to now. This essay explains and analyses music and imagination in his poems and concludes that among main factor of poem, (eg, language, music and imagination), music is salient in his works.

  Music is a component of poem and its constituent. Music highlights the speech and differentiates poem from prose. This article addresses this aspects of poem and connection between song of speech and other elements. To this end, firstly we define music and its sorts in Persian poem, then the connection between music of poem and subject, imagination and feelings. This study shows that music of poem along side four division by Persian literary men, divides to three categories: external music (prosodic aspect of poem) side music (special song of harmony between ending words of half. Vers “Row and rhyme”) and medial music (different harmonies resulting from rhetorical communications and meaning relevances). But poem is an account of society, principles, faith, and poet’s thoughts; and music of poem is his/her language of heart and his/her feelings. Different styles of poetical music – that is, rhythm, rhyme and raw and words and vocable - are elements which transfer meaning, feeling and imagination of poet to audience and musical variety, in this regard, is an important factor in inducing subject and poetical feelings to others. Maintaining harmony and relations between poetry music and other elements, poet attempts to approach to main purpose of poem, that is, impressing notions and internal contains of poem.

  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.

  The music of poetry is what makes the verse interesting. This factor is manifested in a unique way in Sultan Walad Ghazals, which is highly represented in the phonetic balance. The poet has increased the variety in rhythm using quantitative balance regarding metric features and using different meters. Sultan Walad has created special kind of rapture and fascination in his Ghazals using the cyclic meter in a way that cyclic meter is most frequent in the fast rhythms of this kind of poem. In the application of qualitative phonetic balance, he uses repetition, and by repeating different Persian vowels and consonants he has increased the aesthetic feature of his Ghazals. The long vowel /a/ is very frequent while /o/ is the least frequent vowel in his use of repetition. Sultan Walad has created rhythmic aspects in his poems by the application of vowel and consonant repetition while the most frequent repetition is in the initial consonant and the least frequent is the repetition of the initial vowel and consonant. The poet's use of repetition is more obvious in the rhyme. Therefore, it can be said that Sultan Walad has created a special kind of music in his Ghazals using different kinds of balance, regarding same sounds (including consonants), and same letters which can be studied from different aspects. An analytical-descriptive method is used in this research through which we have identified phonetic balance in Sultan Walad’s Ghazals, and in addition to analyzing each, we measured and showed the frequencies using charts and tables.

  In this paper, a new spatio-temporal based approach is proposed which improves the speed and performance of temporal-based algorithms, conventional Least Mean Square (LMS), Normalized LMS (NLMS) and Variable Step-size LMS (VSLMS), by using the switched beam technique. In the proposed algorithm, first, DOA of the signal source is estimated by MUltiple SIgnal Classification (MUSIC) algorithm. In the second step, depending on the desired user's location, the closest beam of the switched beam system is selected and its predetermined weights are chosen as the initial values for the weight vector. Finally, LMS/NLMS/VSLMS algorithm is applied to initial weights and final weights are calculated. Simulation results show improved convergence and tracking speed and also a higher efficiency in data transmission through increasing the Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) as well as decreasing the Bit Error Rate (BER) and Mean Square Error (MSE), in a joint state. Moreover, Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) as a measure for distortion introduced by the proposed adaptive scheme on the received signal is evaluated for all LMS-based proposed algorithms which are approximately the same as that for conventional ones. In order to investigate the tracking capability of the proposed method, the system is assumed to be time varying and the desired signal location is considered once in the centre of the initial beam and once in the edge of the fixed beam. As depicted in simulation results, the proposed DOA-based methods offer beamforming with higher performance in both cases of the initial beam, centre as the best case and edge as the worst case, with respect to conventional ones. The MSE diagrams for this time varying system show an ideal response for DOA-based methods in the best case. Also, in the worst case, initial height of MSE is reduced and consequently the required iteration to converge is less than the conventional LMS/NLMS/VSLMS Manuscript profile

  Fitness and coordination between poem formations and its entanglement with content and maximum use of literary capacity can in a wide range enhance emotional images from "This, not that" to "the very this one". Based on this approach, the aim of following research, is an analysis of how did Mir Seyyed Ali Hamadani present his mystical thoughts in four musical areas, literary illustrations, and aesthetically standards of Music? And how did he use expressive language facilities in the service of presenting especial mystical world viewing and expressing creative imagery, rebuilding and reopening his different criteria of his thoughts? In outer Music area (meter), according to his composition of sophisticated use of phonetic and meter, he can be considered as the poet of "Bahr Raml". In the field of music (rhyme and row), audio line and strengthening the vertical axis of symmetry are implied with exquisite imagery, highlighting the implications of closer union with the singer, trying to instill concepts. Inner music with focus on repetition, makes the echo of concepts more prominent in the minds of audience and in spiritual music concepts, with rhetorical common language, the reader is led through the understanding of literary art to literary enjoy. This research is descriptive and data are investigated by using content analysis method. Manuscript profile

  Music is one of the most important pillars of poetry that makes it enjoyable. Music in poetry has different aspects such as inner music, exterior, and side. One of the aesthetic elements of the poem, especially the classical formats, is the use of side-by-side music that results from the repetition of poetic vocabulary at the end of each beat, especially rhyme and row. The poets try to come closer to their goal of expressing the poetic meanings, with respect to the connection between the music of the poem and other elements. In this descriptive and analytical study, the side music in Sheikh Baha'i poetry is examined. The results indicate that in the quatrains of Sheikh Baha'i there are pronouns of the nominal rhyme, the present verb which has a higher frequency of nominal rhyme than the other types of rhyme, and in the other quatrains the present tense has a higher frequency. Most rows are simple and one-part, and two-part and three-part rows are rarely used. Manuscript profile

  Abstract: The secret of the permanence of poetic speech should be explored in various dimensions and with different approaches. One of these dimensions is the study of "poetry music" with an aesthetic approach. One of the branches of music of poetry is its inner and thought music. The inner music is figures of Speech such as: "repetition, paronomasia, adornment, parallelism, epanorthosis, anadiplosis, etc." and thought music includes: "contrast, proportion, ambiguity, allusion, exaggeration, sensuality, etc.). This descriptive and analytical research seeks to study various types of inner and thought music of Amaq Bukhari’s poems as an outstanding poet. As a result, in the internal music section, the "repetition" has the highest frequency with 52% and the “around similarity" (Tasbigh) has the lowest frequency with 1.8%. Also, in the thought music section, the “Observance of peers “(Correlation) has the highest frequency with 34.8% and the lowest frequency with 0.14% of that array is "question and answer". Examining the frequency of all kinds of figures of speech and figures of thought in Bukhari's poetry, points out his unpretentiousness in a poet and shows that he is not an industrial poet and his music is the result of his poetry and not the other way around.

  Fārābī’s specific view of music reveals the teleological importance of music for him. In his philosophy, music is connected with logical thought and political philosophy, and this connection plays an effective role in his musical system. The relationship between music, logic, and politics is established through the end of music. That is, the genre of poetry, as a part of logic, determines the end of music and also develops a relationship with civil philosophy (politics) in the course of this relation in the view of Fārābī. The reflection of such relationships can be seen in the definition of music, specifying its principles and source of its formation, types of music, and the classification and ranking of musical instruments. Given the final cause of music and its principles, which mathematics is not capable of explaining, Fārābī distances himself from mathematics when analyzing music. He equates the final cause of music with that of poetry, which is the same provoking of imagination to attain happiness for all. In this way, he emphasizes the imitative aspect of music and defines it as something more than a tool for entertainment. The teleological view yields some consequences for Fārābī’s general approach to music, which are the focal points of this paper. Manuscript profile

  In this paper, a modified multi band spectral subtraction is proposed for speech denoising. In this method by estimating the non-stationary noise statistics an estimate of the SNR for the speech signal is obtained which is used in the adaptive averaging of the speech signal frames. In addition, by employing such estimate an over-subtraction factor can be obtained which substantially reduces the musical noise. The adjustment of the final algorithm parameters is accomplished based on the obtained SNR, such that the final algorithm has a minimum musical noise and distortion in the speech signal. The obtained results from the Itakura-Saito, global SNR and segmental SNR show that the proposed algorithm has an output signal with a superior quality compared to the multi-band spectral subtraction algorithm and its modified version.

  This paper develops a new method of onset detection for the Tar, a traditional Iranian musical instrument. The proposed method is based on both types of pitch and energy features and an adaptive peak picking algorithm is utilized for primary onset detection. An improved template matching method is used to detect fundamental frequencies and finally, onsets are tagged based on primary onsets and fundamental frequencies. This step is especially useful to detect the reaz, repeatedly played notes with the same frequency and short durations. For the evaluation of the method, a data set with predetermined onsets was produced and the results were compared with an energy based method explained in terms of F measure. Manuscript profile

  Iranian "Dastgah" music classification by computer is a very interesting yet complex and challenging topic for those who are interested in Iranian Dastgah music. The aforementioned problem is important, firstly, due to its many applications in different areas such as composing and teaching music, and secondly, because of the needs of ordinary people to computer to detect the Dastgah. This paper presents a method for recognition of the genre (Dastgah) and subgenre (sub-Dastgah) of Iranian music based on sequential note extraction, hierarchical classification, and the use of LSTM networks. In the proposed method, the music track is first classified into one of the three general categories. The first category includes only "Mahour" Dastgah, the second category includes "Shour" and "Nava", and the third category includes "Homayoun", "Segah" and "Chahargah". Then, for each category, depending on its type, a different number of classifiers are applied until one of the 6 Dastgah and 11 sub-Dastgah of Iranian music are recognized. This research is not limited to any particular style of playing or instruments, it is also not affected by neither the speed nor the techniques of player. The labeled tracks in the "Arg" database, which is created for this research, are solo. However, some of them are also played by percussion instruments (such as the Tombak) along with melodic instruments. The results show that recognition of 6 main Dastgah and 11 sub-Dastgah have been approved by an average accuracy of 74.5% and 66.35%, respectively, which is more promising compared to other few similar studies.

  Interventions such as verses of the Quran or Iranian music can be considered as sources for regulation of emotion and attachment recovery. The purpose of this research was to study the effectiveness of verses of the Quran and music based on electro photon emission in relation with physical changes. The statistical population was monozygotic and dizygotic twins who were members of the Persian twins and multiples association. The participants consisted of 500 individuals selected with random sampling. A sample of 28 individuals was selected with diagnosis of borderline personality, then placed randomly in Quran verses (n1=14) and music (n2=14) intervention groups. The study tools: schizotypal trait questionnaire-b form (stb), positive and negative affect scale (panas), electro photon imaging (epi) equipment and words of negative emotion and attachment. Data analysis was based on dependent and independent t-test with the use of SPSS-23 Software. Based on the achieved results, subliminal stimulus of negative emotion and attachment was significantly more effective in posttest than pretest. Verses of the Quran and music were significantly different. The intervention of Quran verses compared with music was more effective on Electro photon emission regulation (p<0/05). It is concluded that verses of the Quran create order at the lowest physical levels (electrons and photons) and, thus, an aspect of the Quran’s miracle is demonstrated by an Interdisciplinary Study.

  Mīr Abulqāsim Mīr Findiriskī (1562-1640), Iranian Philosopher of the Safavid era, has presented some discussions on theoretical music in his most famous work entitled Risālah Ṣanāiyyah, which has made him unique among the philosophers of this period. However, unlike the philosophers of early Islamic period, Mīr Findiriskī uses the example of theoretical music in order to explain different types of profession rather than teach music based on written texts. The present paper aims to investigate Mīr Findiriskī’s philosophical views in relation to music as a profession following the qualitative method of content analysis and using historical and library resources. Here, while providing a brief historical review of Mīr Findiriskī’s life, works, and thoughts, the authors have explained the theoretical foundations of the treatise and the technical terms used there in order to clarify the writer’s intention of resorting to the example of theoretical music. The most important implication of music-related discussions in this work is that, during this period, scholars made a clearly explicit distinction between the knowledge and practice of music. In fact, it was possible for prominent religious scholars to have complete mastery over theoretical music but avoid listening to music, teaching it, or practically dealing with it and warn their seminary students against any practical involvement with music. This fact can be considered as one of the clear signs of the separation of the knowledge and practice of music during the Safavid era. Manuscript profile
