Owen Wright takes a single recording of classical Persian music as the object of study. The singer is Touraj Kiaras, described as a distinguished vocalist, and four respected instrumentalists accompany him.
The recording follows the pattern of a public concert, so it includes instrumental pieces as well as a central section on vocal repertoire and technique. The analysis looks at the salient structural features of the performance, both in its individual parts and in the way they fit together.
Readers interested in Persian music, performance analysis and the study of vocal technique will find it a focused case study.
