This method continues until the prayer and during the prayer and then Gholam Reza Darvishi only moves onto the pitches of the main tetrachords for one hemistich with emphasis on the third note which creates an atmosphere similar to Zabol [[Gushe]]. This is transitory and the singer quickly moves back to the previous acoustic space. After performing Moqadame (the introduction) which ends with the [https://referenceworks.brillonline.com/entries/encyclopaedia-of-islam-2/salawat-DUM_3121 Salawat] prayer the singing of the curtain begins but the musical space does not change. The curtain-storyteller emphasizes on the same mentioned notes and describes the day of Resurrection and then describes the character of [[Hussain]] and [[Zaynab]] but in this section the Chahargah Dastgah does not reach its previous clarity of expression.

Curtain-storytelling has reached higher pitches even up to the second tetrachord without corresponding exactly to the intervals of Chahargah or any equivalent Persian modes. The melody modulation and final notes are also performed in this way. However, on returning to the previous intervals, they are performed without any changes. It seems that Pardekhan uses intervals which are specific to his own art, and some of them can be similar to the Dastgah music. For the sermon ([https://referenceworks.brillonline.com/entries/encyclopaedia-of-islam-2/khutba-SIM_4352 Khutba]) the Pardekhan returns to the first space using the notes of Pishdong, even when singing Rajaz is performed. <ref>In Chahargah dastgah there is a gushe named Rajaz. Its main notes are in the first tetrachord and its ending is on the notes of Pishdong (according to usual Chahargah dastgah performance) and the rhythm is that of the Shahnameh: Fa'ulan Fa'ulan Fa'ulan Fa'ul. Gholam reza Darvishi uses only the rhythmic aspect of Rajaz.</ref>
