Jalal Zolphonun
He was born on 1937 in Abadeh of Fars.
He moved to Tehran with his family when he was a child.
Began learning music in his family whom were all found of
music and then in the
Music
Academy and started to learn Tar by Moosa Khan Maaroofi.
There was where he became interested in Violin and also
Setar.
On 1959 he became a staff of Fine Arts Office which later
became the Ministry of Culture and Art and Ministry of
Higher Education. A while after, when the music school of
Tehran University was established, he continued his aim
there. The new notion which evolved in him was an epoch that
came to the act by the help of his masters Noor Ali Khan
Borumand and Dr. Dariuxh Sefvat.
He concentrated on Setar on 1967. After graduating from the
university, he started his teaching project and research on
Persian music entering the Persian Music Conservation and
Promulgation Center. Through those years, he used the
guidance of masters such as Usef Forootan and Saeed Hormozi
whom were expert Setar players.
The subject of his thesis was Darvish Khan and he has had
compilations on analyzing and studying pieces of Darvish
Khan, Teaching Persian music on the technique of Setar in 4
volumes, along with a few articles and tapes on surveys on
Persian music and Setar from the historical and social point
of view.
In the recent years, Zolphonun has held yearly concerts on
the commemoration of Rumi in Ghoonieh.
For the first time, about 20 years ago, he heard a piece of
integrative music including instruments such as Guitar,
Tabla, Saxophone, and Indian Nay (Bansori), and he believes
that this mixture is very interesting and creative and the
combination of instruments from different countries and
India has brought a novel message.
For this reason, he has experienced concerts of this kind of
music along with Dariush Khageh Noori with Tar, Setar and
Guitar. In his point of view, only an artist whom has a
mentality for improvisation, namely the musical romantic
spirit, can perform a proper presentation in this field.
He intends to introduce Setar to the world along with the
western instruments and initiate it more among the young
generation in the country.
Zolphonun has arranged a combination of Tar, Setar, Piano,
Daff and Chaghaneh in this concert.
Chaghaneh
A ceramic, jug like instrument, known as “Koozeh” in ethnic
music.
Zolphonun believes that cultivation and revival of this
instrument is another task of this concert.
Chaghaneh is one of ancient Persian instruments and it is a
sort of percussion instruments, forgotten as the times
passed by and it has remained lightly only in the East side
of Iran, meaning Sistan and Baluchestan.
Chaghaneh is like the “Koobeh” of Baloochs but shorter and
deeper but the sound of Koobeh is sharper and Chaghaneh has
a kind of more bass sound.
Concerning the standards of this instruments, it is easy to
make and it has been taken to India from Baloochestan and
then to the African zones. In Africa, it has been given more
length and there they call it “Oodoo” or “Oodoka”. Chaghaneh
corresponds fine with Setar and Tar and there has been
mentioned in the ancient books that it used to be played
with “Chang” (Harp) in the old times. This percussive
instrument is a rhythmic accompaniment.
All the information of the brochure has been collected and
organized by Mr. Amir Khazaeli

Mohammad Taghi
Masoudieh was born on April 9, 1927 in Mashhad. His birth
coincided with the birth of Imam Mohammad Taghi (The Holy) and
for this coincident they named him Mohammad Taghi.
Mohammad Taghi
Masoudieh passed his educational elementary studies in Elmieh
primary school from September 1934 to June 1940, and since
September 1940 entered Shahreza high school in Mashhad for his
secondary studies and graduated from 5th year’s
secondary scientific with a diploma. Through his studies, he was
a thoughtful and precise and hardworking student and mostly he
had intimacy with the late Dr. Gholamhosein Usefi and Dr. Kazem
Omidvar. Thereafter, he came to Tehran and on June 1946 received
literature diploma of the 6th year of his secondary
from the Tehran Daro-l-phonon high school.
He bought a
Violin from one of his relatives called Mohammad Fazayeli and
started learning the Persian music and Violin with him. Then he
continued his way by another person named Javan who was an
anthem teacher in the schools of Mashhad and was also their
neighbor. For his father approval and satisfaction, he went to
the law and political science faculty of Tehran University for
the academic education on September 1947, and at the same time
he proceeded to study music in Tehran’s great academy of music
and on September 1950 he achieved his B.S in Judicial Law as
well as a supreme music diploma. Thereafter, he headed for Paris

Dandelot and on July 1956 he achieved his Bachelor Diploma in
Harmony. Then he headed to
Leipzig,
Germany
to continue his studies in the Great Academy of music. The late
masoudieh has denoted that: “Although I did not use any
allowances or fellowships, but necessarily sometimes I had to
undergo through hard and arduous jobs in order to be able to
continue my education and secure my life.
Therefore, I
requested for an educational scholarship for continuing my music
education in composition of the International Union of Persian
Students located in Prague. Fortunately, my request was accepted
and I was able to study composition in the Leipzig Music
University”.
On September 15,
1958 he started his education on composition in the Leipzig
Music University with Ottmar Gerster and Johannes Weyrauch and
on July 6, 1963 achieved his Bachelor diploma in composing
music. After that he went to Köln to study Musicology and
Ethnomusicology.
On May 11, 1968
successfully achieved his Musicology PhD. The thesis for his PhD
which was about Shoor Phonograph and its analyzing was published
in Germany
in two volumes at the same year (1968). After finishing his
education, he came back to Iran for research and teaching.
On December 18
1969 He started working in the music group of Fine Arts Faculty
of Tehran University as a contractual assistant professor.
On June 30, 1974
he became the associate professor and eventually on April 27
1993 rose to the post of determinate full time tenure professor
and kept this title until the last day of his salutary life,
joining the membership of scientific faculty, teaching and
researching at the same time. European music history, practical
and advanced harmony, form and analyze, musicology,
orchestration, transcription and different discussions of
ethnomusicology are some of the fields that often were taught by
Dr. Masoudieh for the first time in the university.

paid a rigorous and precise attention to his researches on the
realm of Persian folk music and Persian Traditional Radif
(clavier) music and never disconnected his professional and
empathetic relations with his field and domain of research in
which was the culture and art of local and regional musicians of
the land of Persia. According to him, “After returning to Iran,
my studious activities were rather focused on researches upon
the Persian Regional music and next the Persian Traditional
(Radif) music.”
Dr. Masoudieh
had a great command of German, French and English languages and
he compiled and published his books and articles in Persian,
German, French and English.
Some of his best
publications are:

Dr. Masoudieh
was also a talented and capable composer. But unfortunately he
did not find enough time for his pursuit in this field.
Hereupon, he has said: “Primarily my first intention is to
collect, register and analyze the Persian regional music and
originally, composing is my subsidiary pursuit.
Some of his most
important compositions are:
Four leads for
soprano and piano (Poems by Hakim Omar Khayam Nayshaboori)

The late
Masoudieh’s decease happened on the Monday eve of February 1st
1998 while he was composing his last symphony for the cause of
cardiac arrest and lastly, despite his testament, which was to
be buried in the city of Khayyàm (Nayshaboor) and besides the
tomb of Attar and Kamal-ol-molk , he was berried in the artists’
section of Beheshet-e-Zahra.

composed almost eighty works most of which have been perform or
recorded. He has composed in various musical forms. His works are
consisted of nine symphonies, two piano concertos, a clarinet
concerto, a concerto for orchestra called “Iranian Concerto”,

the poems by Iranian classic poets such as Saadi, Hafez and
Khayyam, and some other pieces for piano. His first symphony is
called “Khayyam”, His fifth symphony is called “Iranian Symphony”,
his sixth symphony is called “Damavand Symphony”, his eighth
symphony is called “Imam Reza” and his ninth symphony is called
“Persian Gulf”. His devotion to Iranian music has been his main
inspiration in composing in the last ten years.
His first two quartets were composed in the first years of the
imposed war of Iraq against Iran. Both of the quartets have a
complicated harmonic mode, especially the second quartet. Although
it enjoys a tonal axis, it is also a poly-tonal piece. Quartet No.
2 is combined of three movements: The first movement is completely
formed as an allegro sonata and it is developed by two main themes
and a few minor themes. The second movement, or the slow movement,
is a sad song developed in ABA form. The third movement, or the
final movement, is a fugue developed by four themes and leading to
an exciting conclusion.
