Tello (song)
Tello or Aman Tello is a folk song and dance from the South Caucasian and Anatolian regions. The earliest known recording of the song was a 1912 Azerbaijani mugham composition. There are also Turkish versions of the song. It was popular from the 20th century onwards in the Azerbaijani and Turkish communities. History Name Tello is a diminutive form of the female name ''Telli'', found in both Azerbaijani and Turkish cultures. The name Telli derives from the word tel, meaning "strand (of hair)", and the Turkic suffix -li, which means "with", together metaphorically meaning "the one with long hair". Aman, on the other hand, is an interjection burrowed from Arabic, commonly used to express urgency, sorrow or a heartfelt plea - typical of emotional expression in the Caucasian and Anatolian folk music. Therefore, the phrase "Aman Tello" essentially means "Oh Tello", centering around a girl who is admired or longed for. Composition The folk song has origins in the Southern Caucas ...

Tasnif
''Tasnif'' () is one of the several forms of Persian music and can be considered as the Persian equivalent of the ballad. It is a composed song in a slow metre. As is true of other forms of musical composition, most ''tasnifs'' are of relatively recent origin and by known composers. A large number of ''tasnifs'' were composed during the first two decades of the twentieth century. Many of them are based on patriotic themes reflecting the spirit of the constitutional movement of that period. ''Tasnifs'' composed during the twenties and the thirties are more concerned with amorous topics and the poetry used is generally from the works of classical poets. In the post-World War II period, the poetic context has gradually become light and the music of the ''tasnif'' has been affected by western popular songs. This more 'modern' type of ''tasnif'' is generally called '' tarāne''. See also * Aref Qazvini * Morteza Neydavoud * ''Morq-e sahar ''Morqe Sahar'' (, often Romanizati ...
