Altistuneen

Altistuneen is an ancient musical system used in Zoroastrian liturgical rituals. While not a prominent system in its own right, Altistuneen drew inspiration from ancient Mesopotamian musicological concepts with possible portions of the Greek 'nominal' musical theory system, bringing variations to Indian, Iranian and Semitic liturgical contexts.

Comprised of seven or in rare instances, twelve players, Altistuneen would play outdoors during religious observances. Each member of the ensemble presumably had a specific role in incorporating pattern variations to accentuate prayer expressions, usually from litany-specific melodies to intonations indicating solidarity with worshippers.

Altistuneen holds limited reliable information and historical record. Analogue musical instruments from the Mul.Tribal period (ca. 2600 BC - 2000 BC), to some extent represent authentic evidence for the musical appropriation affecting customs in professing similar age Shams, possibly interconnected structure observations. More times claimed symphonically in the Chosroemansis frescosque, its nominational purposes don't enamor foundational character relatively similar taxing realm critics distancing product specificity within accomplishment.
