'''Mohammad Arefian''' (born in 1936) is an Iranian [[Pardekhan]] and Ma’rekegir. His performance is in the manner of the ancients. In this method the motions are clear, distinct and rather predictable. The concentration on the gathering being narrated and the painted faces and repeated indications to the evil personages, using the cane (the holy personages should not be indicated with a cane due to their prestige and dignity) and indicating the holy personages with the hand is one of the classical techniques of the older storytellers. | '''Mohammad Arefian''' (born in 1936) is an Iranian [[Pardekhan]] and Ma’rekegir.

At the beginning Morshed Aref sings (Besmellaholrahmanorahim) in a melodic tone as most other Pardekhans. His voice continues to the end of the introduction before the main story. After this section spoken narration is used to explain the gathering and short singing is only used at significant parts of the story. In curtain-storytelling three main methods are usual in expressing the gathering. | At the beginning Morshed Aref sings (Besmellaholrahmanorahim) in a melodic tone as most other Pardekhans.

The first type is specific to Pardekhans who are masters of [[Ta'ziyekhani]] (sung playing) and who play the roles of the holy personages. The second type is more prevalent than the other two and is mainly specific to Pardekhans whose main profession is Ma'rekegiri or street performances. These persons might also engage in [[Rawza-khani]] and [[Maddahi]] on the side of their main profession. And the third and less frequently liked type is that of those who do not have a strong singing voice. | The first type is specific to Pardekhans who are masters of [[Ta'ziyekhani]] (sung playing) and who play the roles of the holy personages.

At the beginning of the gathering of Sultan e Qeys the melody is of the acoustic atmosphere of Avaze Bayat-e Turk (Daramad intervals) and in the second section, in the hemstitch of An ke shiran ra konad rubah mazaj... it is performed in the atmosphere of Homayun [http://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/dastgah Dastgah] (mode). Sometimes the intervals performed by the curtain-narrators do not perfectly correspond to the intervals of Dastgah and urban music and the only atmosphere which is evoked is that of one roughly corresponding to some Dastgahs or Avazes; this is true of the section sung in Homayun. | At the beginning of the gathering of Sultan e Qeys the melody is of the acoustic atmosphere of Avaze Bayat-e Turk (Daramad intervals) and in | ||
