Musicality in Chamber Music can first be seen in allusions to musical elements which contribute to the musical revelation of emotions. Furthermore, repetition pervades Chamber Music both in themes and structure, resonating with the cyclical nature of Irish music. Under the influence of the Irish Revival, Joyce creatively navigates the realm of musical lyrics, draws a balance between English and Irish traditions, and provides a seminal model for his further exploration of musical writing in his later masterpieces.展开更多

In this regard by preparing the reasons, we pay attention to the function of education in codification of Radif. Although Iranian traditional music has long history but its codification to seven Dastgah-s and five Avaz-es in the format of Radif is attributed to Qajar Dynasty in the 19th century. In this transformation, Mirza Abdollah, Tar-Player of the Nasser al-Din Shah Period, has played an important role in final codification of Radif. Due to the truth that the past masters scrimped in music education, and Mirza Abdollah had encountered with problems to learn music, hence he has mostly cared about music education in adulthood, and it is probable that one of the reasons in collecting Gusheh-s （approximately a small piece of the Iranian Dastgahi music） and organizing them into coherent sets was making simplicity for the students to learn. Furthermore, masters who seriously and continuously have taught after Mirza Abdollah, left a narration （version） of Radif. On the other hand, definite patterns in placement of Gusheh-s and phrases of the Radif have been organized in a manner that makes educational function for it.展开更多
