Main Article Content

Abstract

The historic path of the genre tarona in Tajik music is
fascinating. Today, tarona is used as both an independent
genre of folk music and a part of complex cyclic compositions
of academic music, such as maqam and falaq. A specific
manifestation of the art of Farsi-speaking nations, tarona
has been used at least twice to symbolize the essence of musical
art of the Tajiks: by the great Abdulloh Rudaki in the
ninth century and by Amir Khusravi Dekhlavi in the thirteenth.
Upon studying the genre of tarona for more than
twenty years, the author has established a unique view of its
significance. The article traces the long history of this genre
and emphasizes its place in Tajik music.
