| Avesta | the primary collection of sacred texts of Zoroastrianism, composed in the Avestan language. Prior to the arrival of Islam, Zoroastrians performed choral and solo performance songs. However, most of those songs are no longer performed, though there remain Zoroastrian religious songs. Many are derived from the Avesta, or from the Gathas (sayings attributed to Zoroaster). Islamic influence can be seen in the melodies of the Naderi method of prayer recitation and pilgrim's songs. The ancient tambourine music of Kermanshah (in Iran) is similar as well to some kinds of Zoroastrian music. Darbe Mehrs and Zoroastrian fire temples usually possess one to two bells which are intoned at certain times during ceremonies | |||||||||||||

| the use of 'axe' as slang for a musical instrument dates back to 1955. The instrument to which 'axe' was first applied, however, was not the guitar, but the saxophone. The logic may have been simply the 'sax/axe' rhyme, but another theory ties 'axe' to the 'swing' of a jazz sax player in full stride.
'Axe' was also later applied to the trumpet before becoming accepted as slang for the guitar, a use which has probably persisted in part because of the instrument's resemblance to an actual axe [entry prompted by Dave Keckes-Chartrey] | ||||||||||||||
