The essay explores the phenomenon of tahrir, one of the most important elements of the avaz vocal art in Iranian classical music. As a hereditary avaz performer and an active concert soloist who has sung in this tradition for a number of years, the author bases his reasoning on the extensive practical experience of several generations of Iranian singers. As a result, instead of interpreting tahrir as a purely ornamental device, which is quite a widespread approach to this phenomenon, the author presents its detailed explanation as an extra-verbal multifunctional element in the evolvement of the avaz sonic texture, noting its deep semantic, psycho-emotional and form-structural meaning in each particular musical utterance.
