INTRODUCTION

Music is the interpreter of the spiritual world of
humans. It shapes and educates a person
spiritually by influencing their emotions. Today,
music plays a crucial role in uplifting the spirit of
people, especially the youth, directing them
towards creativity and constructive work. This is
why great attention is being given to the
development of music in our country, supporting
and encouraging young talents.

The musicians and singers who contribute to the
development of our national music art and present
high-quality music works to our people are all
well-educated in music. They have achieved these
results through their musical education. Therefore,
the attention given to music education is seen as a
significant contribution to the advancement of our
national music art.

In the training of the new generation of musicians
and singers, the full utilization of educational
opportunities is being actively pursued. Of course,
in higher music education, it is essential that
students learn pieces from Shashmaqam, Uzbek
national music, and compositions by Uzbek
composers with great care, mastering the
comprehensive performance techniques under the
guidance of their teachers. In this regard, the
"Maqom Performance Department" of the Yunus
Rajabi Uzbek National Music Art Institute plays a
key role in implementing large-scale educational
tasks.

In the development of Uzbek musical culture and
expanding its repertoire, the works created by
composers hold special significance, and we can
recognize the contribution of numerous

composers who have been active in this field.
Naturally, when talking about composers, it is
necessary to mention the great masters who have
made enormous contributions to the development
of our national music. Just as each region has its
own performance styles and schools, composers
too have emerged from different regions.

The Khorezm region, with its unique performance
and singing traditions, stands out in Uzbek music.
The region has a rich collection of various musical
genres, such as maqom performance, dastan
genres, and popular folk performances. The
following musicians and composers have
contributed significantly to the development of
Khorezm music: Khudoybergan Mukhorkon,
Matpano Ata Khudoyberganov, Safo Muganni,
Madrahim Sherozi, Khojikhon, Nurmuhammad
Boltaev,

Rozmat

Jumaniyozov,

Komiljon

Otaniyozov, Bekjon Otajonov, etc. Their unique
voices and works have made a remarkable impact
on the evolution of music.

Khojikhon

Boltaev

(1902

1987)

was

a

distinguished artist of Uzbekistan and a
representative of the Khorezm maqom school. He
was a master of Khorezm maqoms, suvoras, and
other large musical pieces, known for his resonant
and pleasant voice. His ability to control and
distribute vocal power, rise through the
crescendos, and sustain them is a distinctive
feature of his style. The maqoms he performed,
including Buzruk, Segoh, and other pieces, were
recorded by the Uzbekistan Radio. Khojikhon was
a mentor to many other artists, including Nazira
Yusupova, Kuvondiq Iskandarov, and Rozimat
Jumaniyozov.

Komiljon Otaniyozov (1917

–1975), a People’s

Artist of Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and
Karakalpakstan, was a singer, musician, and
composer. He possessed a remarkably attractive
and powerful voice and achieved artistic maturity
in every performance. He studied the Dastan

tradition from Bolo Bakshi Abdullahev and the
Khorezm

maqom

songs

from

Matpano

Khudoyberganov. Komiljon Otaniyozov became an
outstanding performer of Khorezm suvoras and
maqoms and created a new performance style
based on Khorezm dastan songs. As a composer,

his works such as “Salom, Senga Khorezmdan,”
“Muborak,” “Vatan,” “Olqish,” “Temiryo'l,” and
“Khorezm” are known for their p

opularity and

folk-oriented nature.

In the Fergana-Tashkent maqom performance,
there are several important schools of
composition, reflecting regional significance, with
personal styles emerging during the development
of performance practices. The large singing

performance, known as “katta ashula” and maqom

traditions, were also widely practiced in the
Fergana Valley.

Zhorakhon Sultonov (1893

–1965), People’s Artist

of Uzbekistan, was a skilled singer, musician, and
composer who contributed significantly to the
development of Uzbek national music. He was
knowledgeable in various genres of folk music,

including "katta ashula" and “yalla.” His famous

compositions such as "Bolmasa," "Guluzorim

Qani," and “Naylayin” are examples of his unique

performance style.

Tukhtasin Jalilov (1896

1966) was a highly

respected artist in Uzbekistan, famous for his
songs such as "Aziz Vatandim," "Ey, Hur
Vatandim," "Toylar Muborak," and "Kokiling." He
also contributed to the development of musical
drama in Uzbekistan. His famous stage works

include

“Halima,”

“Ortoqalar,”

“Gulsara,”

“Nurkhon,” and “Tohir va Zuhra.”

Mahmudjon Uzoqov (1904

1963), a well-known

singer, created a personal performance style
within Uzbek music and collaborated with other
composers, creating significant works that still

stand out. His songs like “Mustahzod,”
“Eyrilmasin,” “Fighonkim,” and “Yolingizda” are

highly valued.

Ghanijon Toshmatov (1913

composer, musician, and public figure who left a
remarkable mark on Uzbek music history. His
compositions such as "Istadim," "Kezarman,"
"Qaro Zulfin," and "Guljamol" were highly popular.

Komiljon Jabburov (1914

1975) contributed to

Uzbek music by creating compositions such as

"Dugoh," “Segoh,” “Gul Mavsumi,” and “Gulyor” on

the ghijak and tanbur. His compositions like

“Mubtalo Boldim Senga” and “Bahor Qoshiqi” have

become emblematic.

The composers and performers mentioned above
have all made invaluable contributions to the
development of Uzbek music and continue to
inspire future generations. Their works, based on
Shashmaqam and traditional Uzbek music, have
become part of the national cultural heritage,
beloved by the people.

There are many other composers such as
Akhmadjon Dadaev, Mukhamadjon Marakhimov,
Akbarali Asqarov, and many young talents who
continue to make significant contributions to
Uzbek music.

CONCLUSION

impact on Uzbek national music, shaping its
development and ensuring its continued success
for future generations.
