Arazbar - ערזבאר

Arazbar is a Turkish maqam.

Lower jins Bayat on D-duqah, upper jins Rast on F-jiharkah (through C-mahour). this maqam's structure and sayir is a little peculiar to usual maqam breakdowns. the maqam will open developing rast on F-jiharkah. while closing on F-jiharkah, the singer will ascend one note to G-nawa and from there descend to close bayat on D-duqah. it's peculiar, because the descending rast on jiharkah doesnt lead into bayat on duqah. it would lead to close bayat on C-rast. but we break in the middle of the rast (holding the G-nawa note) and from there close bayat on D-duqah.
