DESCRIPTION

Majalla-ye Musiqi Radio Iran, was published in collaboration with Majalla-ye Radio Iran, was first published in 1958 under the management and ownership of Nasiru'ldin Shah-husayni. The first issue of this monthly magazine was printed under the name Majalla-ye Musiqi Radio Tehran, and from the fourth issue onwards, it was renamed Majalla-ye Musiqi Radio Iran (The Iran Radio Music Magazine.)

The main section of the magazine is dedicated to sheet music of Persian songs and Tasnifs, composed by renowned composers such as Darvish Khan, ‘Abbas Shapuri, ‘Ali Tajvidi, Parviz Yahaqqi, Buzurg Lashkari, Javad Lashgari, Majid Vafadar, ‘Ali Naqi Vaziri and Mushir Humayun Shardar, and notable lyricists like Hidayat Nayyir Sina, Karim Fakur, Rahi Mu‘ayyiri, Navab Safa, Abu’l-Hasan Varzi, Mu‘ini Kirmanshahi, Nasir Rastagarnizhad, ‘Ali Akbar Shayda and Nizam Fatimi. These songs have been performed by well-known singers such as Ilahi, Dilkash, Marziyya, Ghulam Husayn Banan, and others. Many of these songs were broadcast on The Golha radio program. The sheet music was written by Hasan Sharvan.

The magazine also includes biographies of musicians written by Husayn ‘Ali Mallah, a section on music theory, and program production Saz_u_Sukhan (Saz u Sukhan) by Ruhu’llah Khaliqi. In the arts news section, readers can find a variety of content from the world of music—ranging from treatment of addicted artists to establishing an Artists' Cooperative and radio orchestras.

One of the innovations of this magazine (similar to the Majalla-ye Radio Iran) was introducing the work of young artists, who over time, became prominent figures in the art world. Buzurg Lashkari is credited as the chief executive in a few issues of this magazine.
