Iranian Music and Genres
Advar
Advar (Cycle) is a rhythmic form used for centuries as a foundation of composition in Iranian music and some other music cultures in the Middle East. The approach to this concept is utilizing a single beat and its progression to create cyclic patterns. In essence, the length of a cycle is longer than common time signatures, with more complex rhythmic variations.
In the 14th and 15th centuries, the most important users of advar were Safiedin Armavi and Abdolghader Maraghei. (source: Kaveh Mahmudiyan)
