Classical Persian music is an ancient art form. Its roots can be traced back to the flourishing cultural germination that took place under the Parthian (349 B.C.-226 A.D.) and Sassanid (226-651 A.D.) dynasties. This music is organized into seven scales and modes, called Dastgaahs with five smaller sub-sets to these scales, called Aavaaz. Each of these scales require specific emotional considerations exemplified by special melodic patterns called Gushes (pronounced goo-sheh). Spontaneous emotive improvisation is at the heart of this art form but must adhere to the paths governed by the Gushes. At first this may sound constricting for the musician yet there are approximately 250 different Gushes distributed among the seven Dastgaahs, creating a myriad of possibilities. Presently, the integrity and character of this precious and antiquitous music must be preserved by those who have lived and breathed its essence for a great number of years; a time requirement that encompasses most of their lives.
Product Description
The traditional sounds of Persia come to life on the new CD composed, arranged and performed by Kamil Alipour entitled "Moon Dance". Classical Persian music is an ancient art form whos integrity and character must be preserved by those who have lived and breathed its essence for a great number of years; Kamil Alipour is one such musician. He displays remarkable skill and versatility on both Taar (a six stringed instrument with a sheep skin sound board, two resonance chambers and 27 moveable frets) and Setaar (a three stringed instrument with a wooden sound board and a single resonance chamber). The deft touch of Kamil Alipour results in a beautiful music that is not only logical and technical, but highly emotional and spiritual as well; it is a delight to experience.
Style/Genre: World/Persian/Traditional/Instrumental
Instrumentation: Tar, Persian Setar, Kamuncheh, Daf, Dunback.

Van Morrison went a long way towards defining his wild Irish heart with his first two classic albums: the brooding, introspective Astral Weeks (1968), and the expansive, swinging Moondance. If the first was the work of a poet, its sequel was the statement of a musician and bandleader. Moondance is that rare rock album where the band has buffed the arrangements to perfection, and where the sax solos instead of the guitar. The band puts out a jazzy shuffle on "Moondance" and plays it soulful on "These Dreams of You." The album includes both Morrison's most romantic ballad ("Crazy Love") and his most haunting ("Into the Mystic"). "And It Stoned Me" rolled off Morrison's tongue like a favorite fable, while "Caravan" told a tale full of emotional intrigue. Moondance stood out in the rock world of 1970 like a grownup in a kiddie matinee. --John MilwardCustomer Reviews:

The Best.......2007-08-04
The Moondance album is somewhat prolific to me when looking at all of Van Morrison's studio releases, perhaps because I do not think he put out an album after this one that could even come close to matching it. A one of a kind find that I will always treasure.

My personal favourite, "Brand New Day" still inspires me like a reverant hymn. Join Mr. Morrison for a quiet journey that soothes the senses.

Album Description
Peter Pupping and Fred Benedetti join forces to put forth some of their strongest material for the Acoustic Guitar Classics series. With a stellar guest appearance by Peter Sprague as a performer and arranger the two Encinitas Peters and Fred combine once again to move the old classics to new heights. If you loved "Here Comes the Sun" and "Morning Has Broken" you will die for "Moondance" which once again visits more great acoustic singer/songwriter classics by the likes of the Beatles, James Taylor, Simon and Garfunkel and a toe tapping version of Van Morrison's Moondance. Moondance features a very special guest appearance by the Peter Pupping Quartet with William Wilson-guitar, Jeff Basile-bass and Roy Gonzales-percussion. Another surprise Peter Sprague's brother Tripp Sprague guest appears playing harmonica on Neil Young's classic Heart of Gold. Without losing the soothing and unobtrusive flavor of the "Acoustic Classics" series, the new release Moondance offers the listener a nudge into a relaxed toe-tapping world where we may even be tempted to take a spin around the floor.Customer Reviews:

Jewel.......2006-03-12
Moondance is one of my favourite Van Morrison albums, a classic on a level with Astral Weeks and Tupelo Honey. There's a moving description of the numinous in the song And It Stoned Me, which recounts an experience with a childhood friend. The playful arrangement of Moondance with its jazzy infusions celebrates a different kind of magic. His voice turns tender and subdued for the gentle love song Crazy Love but goes into full R&B mode for the soulful Caravan. Every note seems to be in exactly the right place on this masterpiece of an album with its exquisite arrangements whilst the words are sheer poetry, as in the yearning Into The Mystic. Slower songs like Mystic and faster ones like the buoyant ditty Come Running alternate with great effect. Every composition is special and memorable, whether it's a love song like These Dreams Of You or a more overtly devotional piece like Brand New Day. The poetic lyrics, evocative melodies and Van's varied vocal styles all contribute to the sonic splendour of Moondance.
