Sharing the Radif

yavaran - 10-31-2018 at 02:25 AM

Hi Everyone,

I have been getting many messages about sharing PDFs of the Persian Radif.

I think it may be time to set up a site or link with the version I have (mirza abdollah) with any others that are out there.

Open to any suggestions on how to best share these important scores. If anyone already has a website where they host important scores we could use that.

Also, if people know of other versions out there in PDF form or would like to crowdsource/crowdfund scanned versions please let me know.

On a similar note, I highly recommend this site:

http://en.pish-radif.com/

It contains radif music performed by various masters. Radif has 2 components, Sazi (instrumental) and Avazi (vocal) and the melodies differ between the two. This site contains both.

I found these links containing the book and sound tracks:

I just picked up this book a couple of weeks ago. It'll probably be years before I have the time to take much of a deep dive into it, but the music looks fascinating.

This is a great book, took the authors years to get it published (Mastro Nariman, Negar Bouban and Ali Pajouheshgar). I know it came with CDs but they are hard to come by. It narrates radif by Mousa Maroufi which is different from the one narrated by Mirza Abdollah.

Great! Thank you all!
