68 – Pavamuri 2 (“Sitting by the Mur (Lament)”)

Range: G, A♭, B♭.

Tuning: Haft Dastan or Barz (C, C, G)

This maqam, too, is one of the majlesi maqams of the tanbur, the secular melodic-modal pieces played at gatherings; it has a prayer-like character directed towards overcoming grief. In fact, one could say that this maqam is an answer to Pavamuri 1. Surely, the mystic does not remain in grief.
