Summary/Abstract: The structure of Iranian music is unique. It does not conform to the system of tonal hierarchies that characterized European classical music between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries. This paper focuses on successful music compositions that have cross-cultural connections in the contemporary era. It has shown that Iranian music by conserving its unique characteristics, has been able to combine with the music of other nations. Also, Iranian music can adopt modern compositions.
