About Me

THE TOMBAK The tombak or the zarb, the main percussion instrument in classical Persian music, is a goblet shaped drum carved out of the trunk of a walnut or mulberry tree and covered in goat, camel or calf skin.The tombak is played with both bare hands requiring movement of the wrists and speed of the musicians hands facilitate a wide variety of strokes to create a whole gamut of tones and colours.In classical Persian music, the tombak plays a dual role, one which is rhythmical, the other melodic. Both these dimensions, one vertical and the other horizontal, are rendered in a sophisticated and structured rhythmical language which is particular to classical Persian music.Cyclical phrases, poetic meter, compound rhythms and development through variations are some of the elements of this language.Le Tombak Le principal instrument de percussion de la musique savante persane, le tombak ou le zarb est un tambour à une peau, taillé dans un tronc de noyer ou de mûrier et recouvert d’une peau de chévre , de chameau ou de veau. Le tombak est joué avec les deux mains nues par des mouvements du poignet et des doigts. La souplesse et la vélocité de ses mains permettent au musicien d’exercer une vaste diversité de frappes et donc d..avoir une grande étendue de timbres et de couleurs. Dans l’interprétation de la musique savante persane, le tombak assume un double rôle. Un rôle qui est de l’ordre métrique, et l’autre qui est un rôle mélodique. Ces deux dimensions, respectivement verticale et horizontale, sont traduites dans un langage rythmique structuré et sophistiqué qui est propre à la musique savante persane. Les phrases cycliques, la métrique de la poésie, les rythmes composés et le développement en variation sont quelques éléments de ce langage...
