  • The Old Arabian Melodic Modes

    Open AccessHenry George FarmerARTICLEJournal of the Royal Asiatic…1965Cited by: 1

    Naghm (pi. Anghām) and Naghmah (pi. Naghamāt) mean “Vocal melody”, both being derived from the Arabic “To speak, hum, or sing in a low pleasant tone”. Such were the classical meanings of those terms, in distinction from LAḤN (pi. ALḤĀN), which stood for “melody” whether in the vocal or instrumental art. Thus, one of the earliest Arabic books on music—the Kitāb al-naghm (Book of vocal melody)—by Yūnus al-Kātib (d. c. 765), became the source book o…

  • The Religious Music of Islām

    Open AccessHenry George FarmerARTICLEJournal of the Royal Asiatic…1952Cited by: 1

    Islām, notwithstanding its immediate and overwhelming triumph, was unable to eradicate the paganism which had preceded it. In pagan Arabia the jinn and spirit world could be conjured by music, and even in ʻAbbāsid times such famous musicians as Ibrāhīm al-Mauṣilī of Baghdad and Ziryāb of Cordova claimed to derive some of their music from the jinn and even sh aiṭān himself. This conceit is understandable. The voice of the jinn was termed ʻ azf , a…

    One does not expect absolute fidelity of outline or intricacy of structure in any delineation to be found in the so-called industrial arts, but because of the scarcity of miniatures and other paintings and drawings in Arabic manuscripts, one has to fall back on this medium frequently for our ideas of the outline and structure of instruments of music at various periods of history. Indeed, some of our earliest iconographical specimens of instrument…

  • An Early Greek Pandore

    Open AccessHenry George FarmerARTICLEJournal of the Royal Asiatic…1949Cited by: 1

    THE origin and history of the pandore and lute in the Near and Middle East is a perennial attraction to musicologists. Especially interesting is its emergence in Greece, where its Oriental origin is ackowledged. It has been surmised that the word πανδορα is derived from the Sumerian pandur or pantur (“little bow”), and it may be perfectly true that in primeval times the pandore would have evolved from a “musical bow”. Still, no such words have co…

    In the Nights the instrument of music is generally referred to as the ālat al-ṭarab or ālat al-malāhī . The types mentioned are fairly considerable, although in most instances the mere name occurs. In the case of the ' ūd (lute), however, certain subsidiary details occur incidentally which are of value
