-- Persian Dance --
|
Called "Persian" on the strength of an assertion by the scholars who put together the patch array of the General MIDI complement |
|
that the voice playing the lead on this tune is a "santur," a hammered dulcimer that they use in Iran. The music does have a flavor |
|
that we as "Westerners" attribute to the muslim world, but I can't say with any certainty that it's authentically "Persian." I'm in this |
|
to make music, to exercise my imagination, and hopefully to stimulate other people's imaginations. The music holds together |
|
well enough, and it's definitely not "Hang On, Sloopy." Call the genre "Mideastern" once again. |
