Abstract

Shashmaqom, the monumental classical music tradition of Uzbekistan, reflects centuries of cultural, spiritual, and aesthetic heritage. This study examines its historical roots, structural characteristics, and contemporary performance practices, emphasizing rhythmic cycles (usul), modal systems (maqom), and the integration of instrumental and vocal sections. The research highlights the pedagogical, aesthetic, and cultural significance of Shashmaqom in modern Uzbekistan while analyzing the interpretive approaches of contemporary ensembles such as Sato. In addition, selected scholarly works from Uzbek sources, translated into English, are incorporated to enhance analytical depth and contextual richness (Ulmasovich, 2025; Yuldashev, 2025).
