This article seeks to examine the functional types of local poetry and music of Sangesar which are registered as an intangible cultural heritage of Iran in December 2011. Sangesar, one of the cities of Semnan province, which is actually the residence of the Sangesar tribes during the winter, is currently known as Mahdishahr. The local music is a part of Sangesar folklore, which includes local songs as well as reed instrument (Lale), which has become popular in Sangesar due to its use by shepherds. In order to collect and study the songs, interviews and recording of the musical samples were done. This article deals with the typology of Sangesari songs and poems from a functional perspective with a descriptive-analytical method. The results show that the local music and songs of Sangesari include various types of servers, lyric poems, and work poems that are related to migration to summer and winter and protect the memory of local heroes and their heroism. The most frequent songs are lyric songs and ritual songs, especially Nowruz poems.
