The Cantillation of the Qur'an
Having arisen in the seventh century in the Arabian Peninsula, Islam can be considered to belong to a Semitic/Mesopotamian cultural stream which has existed in the lands east of the Mediterranean Sea for at least six millenia. Periodic outpourings of nomadic peoples from the Arabian Peninsula (approximately every 1000 years) have repeatedly stimulated the settled populations of the Fertile Crescent, resulting in flowerings of culture which we kno…
Structural Segments in the Islamic Arts
Music, Musicians and Muslim Law
An Annotated Glossary of Arabic Musical Terms
The Theory of Music in Arabic Writings (c. 900-1900)
The Modal System of Arab and Persian Music A. D. 1250-1300
The Status of Music in Muslim Nations
The categories with which ethnomusicologists and musicologists usually divide and explain a musical tradition--religious music, art music, folk music and popular music--seem strangely inappropriate for describing most Arab music. If applied, they are meaningful only in special, indigenous ways. This paper seeks to explain and expand this judgment, and in conclusion, to present a few ideas for the study of music and musical change which have been …
Accentuation in Qur'ānic Chant
Despite the importance of the scripture to any study of Islamic beliefs, customs or creations, little attention has been paid by musicologists and ethnomusicologists to the chanted recitation of the Holy Qur'ān. Muslim scholars of literature, of etymology, of grammar and syntax, of phonetics and vocal production have developed exhaustive studies based on the Qur'ān, but they have neither analyzed nor explained the musical aspects of the chanted r…
Dance as an Expression of Islamic Culture
What, if anything, relates the dances of the Muslim peoples to the other arts produced by the culture to which they belong? Is there a community of belief and an aesthetic identity strong enough among the Muslim peoples, despite their wide geographic dispersion, that would result in a homo-geneous community of artistic production and appreciation? Is dance among the Muslims an art which, like the visual and aural arts, shares characteristics whic…
Music in the Culture of Northern Afghanistan
Muwashshah
Art has been repeatedly defined by scholars in East and West as a sensory expression of the world-view of a people or culture. Despite the apparent agreement that religio-philosophical ideas have a determining influence on the arts as well as on other features of a culture, little has been done by ethnomusicologists to bring into focus the relationships between religions and music. It is true that many studies have been made of religious or litur…
