  • SILK ROAD: the Silk Road
    SILK ROAD: The Silk Road (or Silk Routes) is an extensive interconnected network of trade routes across the Asian continent connecting East, South, and Western Asia with the Mediterranean world, as well as North and Northeast Africa and Europe. FIDDLE/VIOLIN: Turkic and Mongolian horsemen from Inner Asia were probably the world’s earliest fiddlers (see below). Their two-stringed upright fiddles called morin khuur were strung with horsehair strings, played with horsehair bows, and often feature a carved horse’s head at the end of the neck. The morin khuur produces a sound that is poetically described as “expansive and unrestrained”, like a wild horse neighing, or like a breeze in the grasslands. It is believed that these instruments eventually spread to China, India, the Byzantine Empire and the Middle East, where they developed into instruments such as the Erhu, the Chinese violin or 2-stringed fiddle, was introduced to China over a thousand years ago and probably came to China from Asia to the west along the silk road. The sound box of the Ehru is covered with python skin. The erhu is almost always tuned to the interval of a fifth. The inside string (nearest to player) is generally tuned to D4 and the outside string to A4. This is the same as the two middle strings of the violin. The violin in its present form emerged in early 16th-Century Northern Italy, where the port towns of Venice and Genoa maintained extensive ties to central Asia through the trade routes of the silk road. The violin family developed during the Renaissance period in Europe (16th century) when all arts flourished.

  • Changing the World Spiritually (Karun Jagat Se Nyaar)
    || Changing The World Spiritually (Karun Jagat Se Nyaar) Par Lagan Ko Har Kooi Chahe, Bin Satguru Koi Par Na Pave. The glory of Satguru is such that he brings change. World is following a false Religion-Dharma. Satguru frees you from treachery, fraud, etc. and transforms you from the coveted Minded into a nectarine individual. Earlier it was a reign of Mind. Even after many lives, such a transformation is hard to achieve. Yeh Sab Sahib Tumhi Keena, Barna Main Tha Param Malina.

  • Notes on Musical Imagery in the Poetry of Jāmi Alessia Dal Bianco Independent Scholar
    e-ISSN 2385-3042 Annali di Ca’ Foscari. Serie orientale Vol. 57 – Giugno 2021 Notes on Musical Imagery in the Poetry of Jāmi Alessia Dal Bianco Independent Scholar Abstract The poet Nur-al-Din ʿAbd-al-Raḥmān Jāmi (1414-92) is known to have been proficient in music theory; he also wrote a Resāla-ye musiqi (Treatise on Music Theory). In his poems he displayed an extensive and precise use of musical terms. To probe fur- ther into the elements of musical imagery, I scanned through his maṯnavis Haft awrang (The Seven Thrones) in search of lines dedicated to musical modes, instruments, and performers. Considering that musical imagery had a long-established tradition before his time, I pursued a comparative investigation and commented on some lines by way of examples. Finally, I argue that literary conventions shaped Jāmi’s poetry more than his expertise in music theory did. Keywords Nur-al-Din ʿAbd-al-Raḥmān Jāmi. Persian poetry. Resāla-ye musiqi.
