Abstract

This study aims to analyze a variety of narratives in order to construct a relative understanding of an incident related to the execution of several musicians and the escape of Abdolghader during the Teimorid Era. Research method is based on comparative study of the various and conflicting narratives that are relevant to the historical events of this incident. Narratives have always been used as key research citations in art and history and the researcher has to decide upon its accuracy and substantial evidence that it is presenting. According to the tradition of narrative, the importance of the issue, chronology of incidents, their detailed provision and balance are the most significant factors as well as the variety of music-related narratives could be observed as historical resources. Since, this study is related to history, the narratives are not being considered in an artistic viewpoint. Structurally, incidents are sometimes contradictory in the introduction and main body of the story. Some authors used to add fun to a tragic story which could make the story more interesting. The process of incidents’ narrative is chronological-based, though, detail provision and their balance are not the same in narratives. The use of various narratives for one incident reveals the realistic nature of the incident; although, there has always been a wide gap between an incident and the truth of it. Hanging of musicians in the court of Amiranshah (Tamerlane’ s son) is among one of these incidents. The narratives in regards to the execution of the court musicians of Amiranshah and Abdolghader’ s escape from the situation, demonstrates that despite the significant developments in music in Teimorid era, there was no security for musicians in that time. Amiranshah’ s mistreatment of the musicians and blaming them for this behavior are the two significant points in this incident. Generally, two groups of narratives have been formed about this incident in the year 802, lunar calendar. The first narrative is based on those historians’ records that had lived in the time of the incident’ s occurrence; the second narrative is based on mostly non-written evidence. It seems that the latter is less reliable than the former. Disagreements in recording the musicians’ names and the indefinite narratives are the reasons for this claim. It seems that despite the presence of Abdolghader among the other musicians of Amiranshah’ s court; he was not among those who were hanged due to some unknown reasons. In this case, it could be claimed that Abdolghader’ s credit before Tamerlan and reciting Quran is among the most significant reasons for saving his life, though; he fled the court to save his life nonetheless. Tamerlane’ s seven-year military expedition and his presence in Tabriz could be among the main reasons for Abdolghaer’ s not seeking shelter in Baghdad; because Tamerlane intended to attack Baghdad and Sultan Ahmad Jalayer could not resist against Tamerlane’ s army. That is why Abdolghader decided in the right time to go to Tamerlane and recite him a verse of Quran in which the title is about forgiving the weak; he could save his life and explain his absence during the incidents.
