Twelve Muqam

The Twelve Muqam is composed of twelve large-scale suites. Each suite includes "Qiong Nai Erman", "Dastan" "," Mesirefu" three parts.

The first part "Qiong Nai Erman" means Daqu. In the 1980s, people who studied the Twelve Muqam discovered that the Qiong Nai Erman part of a suite called "Abiqian Ximan" (meaning tears, tears) actually included 39 kinds of tunes, filled with 244 classical poems.

The second part "Dastan" is a narrative song and instrumental music. If "Qiong Nai Erman" uses music to sing the soul, then "Dastan" uses music to tell stories. A poignant love story; a tragic heroic story; a bizarre folklore.

The third part, "Mexirefu", belongs to the field orchard fair. It is an "Ode to Joy", a "Carnival" and a dancing spirit. Thousands of people rotated their limbs along with "Mesirefu", and their rickety bodies became agile in an instant.
