  "lineage": "Zoroastrian liturgical recitation is the priestly intonation of the Avesta, the sacred corpus of the ancient Iranian religion, whose oldest layer — the Gathas attributed to Zarathustra — was transmitted orally for centuries before being committed to the Avestan script under the Sasanians. Mobeds (priests) recite the Yasna, Visperad, and Vendidad in the Yazishn-gah of the fire temple, chiefly during the daily Yasna ceremony, on a narrow band of pitches close to intoned speech. The tradition is a sibling of Vedic Sanskrit recitation within the Indo-Iranian priestly-oral family, sharing the premium placed on phonetic exactness over textual comprehension. It survives among Parsi and Irani Zoroastrian communities and is documented in ethnomusicological and Avestan philological scholarship.",
