Dastgâh-e Shur in Pish-Radif

– In the following table, all the Dângs and Pângs of the open Gushehs in Dastgâh-e Shur are notated.
– Each of the Dângs and Pângs are played on Târ.
– In some Gushehs we go to higher notes during the descending movement (Forud) which are not considered as part of the Dâng or Pâng of that Gusheh.
– Pish-Radif includes all the open Gushehs of each Dastgâh and Âvâz, while each lesson is only based on one closed Gusheh which is introducing all the musical atmospheres of all the open Gushehs as one of the eleven lessons of Pish-Radif.

Legend:

S = Not-e Shâhed (Central note)
I = Not-e Ist (Final note)
IM = Not-e Ist-e Movaghat (Temporary final note)
In some cases, one note is used as S and I

Dastgâh-e Shur in Three Different Vocal Radifs

– In the following tables, we have all the open and closed Gushehs from three vocal Radifs of three master musicians, Hassan Kassâie, Mahmoud Karimi and Abdollah Davâmi.
– In different Radifs, there may be more than one Darâmad and most of the times, they are labeled as first, second, etc., But sometimes based on the melodic contour of them, they adopt a new name or an adjective that refers to their relative Gusheh.

Notes:

– The second open Gusheh in Dastgâh-e Shur after Darâmad is called Rohâb, Rahâb or Rahâvi. In some Radifs, it’s called Darâmad-e Rahâvi. The reason might be the close interval between the Not-e Shâhed of Darâmad and Not-e Shâhed of Rohâb which is 3/4 tone and is the smallest interval between two Not-e Shâheds in classical Persian music!
– In the Radif of Kassâie Darâmad Rahâb is a Darâmad and the Not-e Shâhed is the first Not-e Shâhed of Dastgâh-e Shur, not the second one.
– Hadâvandi in the Radif of Kassâie is called Azarbâijâni in his other versions of Radif recorded later.
– Kereshemeh in these three Radifs is performed with this poetic rhythm:
Ta Tan Ta Tan / Ta Ta Tan Tan / Ta Tan Ta Tan / Ta Ta Tan
But it could be performed with two other versions of this poetic rhythm such as:
Ta Tan Ta Tan / Ta Ta Tan Tan / Ta Tan Ta Tan / Tan Tan
or
Ta Tan Ta Tan / Ta Ta Tan Tan / Ta Tan Ta Tan / Ta Ta Tan Tan
– Salmak, Shahnâz, and Odj are three different names of three different versions of a Gusheh in Shur which its Not-e Shâhed is the fourth of Not-e Shâhed of Darâmad. We must study this Gusheh in each Radif separately to see what are the differences between these different versions under the different names in each Radif.
