Making Music in the Arab World Racy A.J.
A. J. In this pioneering book, he provides an intimate portrayal of the Arab musical experience and offers insights into how music generally affects us all. Racy is well known as a scholar of ethnomusicology and as a distinguished performer and composer.
Richly documented, the book examines various aspects of the musical craft, including the basic learning processes, how musicians become inspired, the love lyrics as tools of ecstasy, the relationship between performers and listeners, and the influence of technological mediation and globalization. The focus is tarab, a multifaceted concept that has no exact equivalent in English and refers to both the indigenous music and the ecstatic feeling associated with it. Racy also probes a variety of world musical and ecstatic contexts and analyses theoretical paradigms from other related disciplines.
