Barbad and the Rise of Iranian Music*"

Iranian kings have a great interest in musicians, and therefore musical elites including Barbad, Sarkesh, Bamshad, Nakisa, and... During the Sassanid period, the emergence of Sassanid music was divided into sections of court music, folk music, and religious music, and musical instruments, the barbat, harp, choghane, saz and kamancheh, wind instruments (and shawar, etc.) jers, damama, naqareh, etc.) were also included. 
Although there were seven Iranian musical instruments before Barbad, it was Barbad that created a huge change in it and, as historians say, "it was considered an absolute law for the masters of the art, and all others were the sheaves of his taste." Barbad created the seven Khosravani (seven instruments), thirty tones (songs) and 360 dastan (songs, voices). In the performance of the events of ancient Iranian history, including the epic "Kin Iraj", the epic "Kin Siavash" was included. In describing the power and wealth of Khosrow, the songs of the Shirin Garden, the Shahriar Garden, the Haft Ganj, and the Takht Taqdis were sung. Also, in congratulating spring and natural landscapes, the songs of "Arayesh Khorshid", "Nowruz Balai Koohsar" and "Ra" were sung. The greatest Arab music has been taken from the works and is followed by the Arab conquest of Spain. This music became popular in Spain after it even had an impact on it, which can be seen.
