Al-Ḥāʾik’s Notebook, Part II
The manuscript anthologies associated with the Andalusian music tradition of Morocco offer extensive data that can shed light upon the history of the repertoire, and upon the tradition as a whole. Beginning with a fundamental distinction between the “Modern Repertoire” of songs performed today and the “Historical Repertoire” found only in manuscripts, the article develops a “medley” of insights derived from six analytical “themes”—modern vs. hist…
The Musical Heritage of al-Andalus
Inverse Trajectories
Despite some interchange between the two shores of the medieval Mediterranean world, particularly in Sicily and Iberia after about 1000 CE, one may distinguish differences in between the enjoyment of secular music between Christian upper classes and Islamic upper classes on the shores of the sea in this era. Where the Islamic world is concerned, a distinction may be drawn between an initially more sophisticated east, including Egypt, the Levant, …
Al-Ḥāʾik’s Notebook, Part I
By far the most important manuscript anthology of the texts of the Andalusian music in Morocco ( al-āla), Kunnāsh al-Ḥāʾik has undergone a lengthy process of evolution since its apparent first iteration (manuscript #144 at al-Khizāna l-Dāwūdiyya in Tetouan, dated 1202 AH). This article presents an annotated listing of all known songbooks relating to al-āla , whether in manuscript or print form, as reference material for scholarship and raw data f…
The Andalusi Turn
Variations among the contemporary North African nūba poetic-musical traditions, as well as their shifting social bases, show that migration to and elaboration within North African societies transformed the elite musical artistry of al-Andalus. Viewing the Andalusian nūba as a trans-Mediterranean phenomenon illustrates the significant diversity that lay beneath the apparent uniformity of erudite Arab-Mediterranean culture in the late medieval and …
East winds and full moons
The Moroccan poetic-musical genre known as al-Āla, also commonly referred to as 'Andalusian music', illustrates the mytho-historical travels of love images from classical and post-classical Arabic poetry, preserving and re-presenting examples of them as part of Moroccan public culture in the twenty-first century. This tradition preserves a substantial number of poems, which clearly echo both the strophic and non-strophic facets of Arabic verse in…
Music and Social Institutions
Music is not only an art form defined by certain formal elements, such as rhythmic and melodic modes. It is also a cultural form that implies significant social interaction. Music naturally evokes deeply felt emotions and can touch upon important social identities, because it helps people to experience feelings and express insights into their own lives. Moreover, the fact that it is performed situates any given musical genre within a specific set…
