Book Synopsis Inside Arabic Music by : Johnny Farraj
Download or read book Inside Arabic Music written by Johnny Farraj and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2019 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What makes hundreds of listeners cheer ecstatically at the same instant during a live concert by Egyptian diva Umm Kulthum? What is the unspoken language behind a taqsim (traditional instrumental improvisation) that performers and listeners implicitly know? How can Arabic music be so rich and diverse without resorting to harmony? Why is it so challenging to transcribe Arabic music from a recording? Inside Arabic Music answers these and many other questions from the perspective of two "insiders" to the practice of Arabic music, by documenting a performance culture and a know-how that is largely passed on orally. Arabic music has spread across the globe, influencing music from Greece all the way to India in the mid-20th century through radio and musical cinema, and global popular culture through Raqs Sharqi, known as "Bellydance" in the West. Yet despite its popularity and influence, Arabic music, and the maqam scale system at its heart, remain widely misunderstood. Inside Arabic Music de-mystifies maqam with an approach that draws theory directly from practice, and presents theoretical insights that will be useful to practitioners, from the beginner to the expert - as well as those interested in the related Persian, Central Asian, and Turkish makam traditions. Inside Arabic Music's discussion of maqam and improvisation widens general understanding of music as well, by bringing in ideas from Saussurean linguistics, network theory, and Lakoff and Johnson's theory of cognition as metaphor, with an approach parallel to Gjerdingen's analysis of Galant-period music - offering a lens into the deeper relationships among music, culture, and human community.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Dictionary of Late Antiquity is the first comprehensive reference book covering every aspect of history, culture, religion, and life in Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Near East (including the Persian Empire and Central Asia) between the mid-3rd and the mid-8th centuries AD, the era now generally known as Late Antiquity. This period saw the re-establishment of the Roman Empire, its conversion to Christianity and its replacement in the West by Germanic kingdoms, the continuing Roman Empire in the Eastern Mediterranean, the Persian Sassanian Empire, and the rise of Islam. Consisting of over 1.5 million words in more than 5,000 A-Z entries, and written by more than 400 contributors, it is the long-awaited middle volume of a series, bridging a significant period of history between those covered by the acclaimed Oxford Classical Dictionary and The Oxford Dictionary of the Middle Ages. The scope of the Dictionary is broad and multi-disciplinary; across the wide geographical span covered (from Western Europe and the Mediterranean as far as the Near East and Central Asia), it provides succinct and pertinent information on political history, law, and administration; military history; religion and philosophy; education; social and economic history; material culture; art and architecture; science; literature; and many other areas. Drawing on the latest scholarship, and with a formidable international team of advisers and contributors, The Oxford Dictionary of Late Antiquity aims to establish itself as the essential reference companion to a period that is attracting increasing attention from scholars and students worldwide.
Book Synopsis Arab Music Theory in the Modern Period by : Scott Lloyd Marcus
Download or read book Arab Music Theory in the Modern Period written by Scott Lloyd Marcus and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 859 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dissertation is a critical review of modern Arab modal theory as presented i n written sources, as taught in present-day Cairo, and as conceptualized by cont emporary performers. The temporal focus of the study, the 'modern period, ' exten ds roughly from the mid-eighteenth century to the present day. The geographic fo cus is the eastern Mediterranean region ranging from Egypt to Syria and Lebanon. The first chapter introduces the modern period giving special attention to the changing position of music and music theory in Arab culture. It also introduces the main Arabic-language sources. The remainder of the dissertation is divided i nto four parts dealing with notes, tetrachords, modes, and modulation, respectiv ely. Part one considers the notes as they are conceptualized in the indigenous s ystem of Arabic/Persian note names, discusses the introduction of Western solfeg e and Western notation into Middle Eastern music culture, and analyzes concepts of tuning and intonation held by modern-period theorists and present-day perform ers. Part Two discusses melodic intervals and modern tetrachordal theory. Part T hree analyzes a number of important issues concerning the musical modes (the maq amat, s. maqam) including their number and classification. The essential element s that contribute to the definition of the individual modes are discussed in tur n in a multisectioned chapter ten; e.g., tonic, ambitus, starting notes, etc. Pa rt Four examines the role of and the rules governing modulation in contemporary practice. Within each chapter, discussions are organized chronologically, beginn ing with concepts that existed in the late-eighteenth, early-nineteenth centurie s and ending with those that exist today. A concluding chapter views aspects of music theory from a cross-cultural perspective. While the quarter-tone scale has provided an important element of continuity throughout the modern period, it is found that the concept of mode has changed drastically over the same period. Th is and other changes in the music theory occurred in response to a variety of so cial, cultural, and musical forces. In view of these changes, the modern period is best divided into three subperiods (early, middle, and present-day).
Book Synopsis Making the Great Book of Songs by : Hilary Kilpatrick
Download or read book Making the Great Book of Songs written by Hilary Kilpatrick and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first systematic literary study of one of the masterpieces of classical Arabic literature, the fourth/tenth century Kitâb al-aghânî (The Book of Songs) by Abû I-Faraj al-Isbahânî. Until now the twenty-four volume Book of Songs has been regarded as a rather chaotic but priceless mine of information about classical Arabic music, literature and culture. This book approaches it as a work of literature in its own right, with its own internal logic and coherence. The study also consistently integrates the musical component into the analysis and proposes a reading of the work in which individual anecdotes and poems are related to the wider context, enhancing their meaning.
