The Two Rivers Ensemble is a sextet of jazz and Middle Eastern musicians that has made innovative strides in using the maqam modal system to transform the jazz idiom. Deeply rooted in musical forms of Iraq and the Middle East, the music still speaks the language of swing, improvisation, and group interaction, resulting in a sound that is distinct from other contemporary cross-cultural musical fusions. After more than a decade of extensive performing and touring and the release of three critically- acclaimed albums, the Two Rivers Ensemble has developed an instinctive ease PROGRAM NOTES with ElSaffar’s innovative music, playing with a creativity in a style that is rooted in tradition, while venturing into an entirely novel aesthetic. Tonight’s program consists of Amir ElSaffar’s composition entitled Crisis was commissioned by Newport Jazz Festival in 2013 and called by Downbeat Magazine, “certainly the first Middle Eastern-imbued jazz combo at Newport to win a standing ovation for its first song.” The music was composed after Amir ElSaffar spent a year living in Egypt, where he witnessed the Arab Spring protests first-hand, and Lebanon, where he worked with Syrian musicians who were living through that country’s harrowing civil war.

    Mary Gottschalk Cultures of the Middle East 220 Professor Abdelrahim Salih Final Paper Music in the Middle East

    Gottschalk 1 Mary Gottschalk Cultures of the Middle East 220 Professor Abdelrahim Salih Final Paper Music in the Middle East The “Middle East” is a term to describe the areas of North Africa and East Asia, where there is a deep cultural history and diverse people, commonly grouped in this term for their cultural similarities. As with trade, information, and innovation, music and the arts moved and assimilated throughout the area. Music pervades the culture in aspects of religion, tradition, and entertainment, and differs according to various conceptions of music based within those religious and cultural ideals. This paper will discuss some of the similarities and differences in middle eastern music: in the instruments as they relate to location, conceptions as they are formed by Muslim doctrine, and traditions based in their respective time periods. Instruments / Place Musical instruments in the middle east range in the complexity, skill needed to play, and type. Broad classifications consist of percussion, bowed, plucked, and wind instruments (Touma 1996 109). A predominant stringed instrument is known as the ‟ud, which literally means “wood”, but it has many names and variations throughout the world (Miller and Shahriari 2006 204). The ‟ud, or al‟ud “…is a fretless, plucked short-necked lute with a body shaped like half a pear” (Touma 1996 109). Its history traces back to the eighth century BCE with changes in size and number of strings, and today is commonly seen with “…five „courses‟ of strings, a course being a pair tuned in unison” (Miller and Shahriari 2006 204). The lack of frets allows the musician to articulate fine gradations of tone, strumming with either a plectrum or fingernails over the middle of the „ud‟s body (Miller and Shahriari 2006 205).

It was really an interesting statement to me; it made me think of two things, the first one is the intention behind this statement, while the second was the attitude of Kurds, especially Kurd musicians, towards researchers and researching. As for the first thing, I felt that there was a problem, maybe a social or psychological, of the Kurdish people in general, and the musicians in particular.

  • Music and Dance of the Middle East

    Music and Dance of the Middle East

    Music and Dance 1 Cultures of the Middle East Midterm paper: Class of Professor Abdelrahim Salih Music and Dance of the Middle East Music transcends language. It can put forth emotions of deep sorrow or ecstatic joy whether the language of the song is in Chinese, English, French or Arabic. With music comes dance. Dance is shaped by the music, as it is the dancer‟s duty to display the emotions of the music; dance is as diverse as the music itself is. Middle Eastern music is a language of its own; it is extraordinarily different from Western music and was shaped by its own great theoreticians of music. The instruments of the Middle East are exotic looking, though they are the ancestors of many Western instruments. The dances of the Middle East vary – there are feminine dances and masculine dances and dances that everyone joins. In the Middle East, music and dance cannot be put under one category because of the extreme variations throughout the region itself. From the beautiful melodies of Debussy to the dramatic compositions of Mozart, there is one thing in common: they are all based on an octave scale that includes thirteen notes. They are based on the Western scale. Vocalists using the Western scale must be very precise when it comes to the notes because there are no “in-between” or quarter notes. Also, compositions are almost always polyphonic; they have both a melody and a harmony (Todd, 2003). A piece that does not include a harmony is considered to be rather simple and not a great classical.

    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF ENGINEERING SCIENCE AND MECHANICS AND SCHOOL OF MUSIC MODELING INTONATION IN NON-WESTERN MUSICAL CULTURES SAMUEL LAPP SPRING 2017 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in Engineering Science with interdisciplinary honors in Engineering Science and Music Reviewed and approved* by the following: Matthew B. Parkinson Associate Professor of Engineering Design and Mechanical Engineering Thesis Supervisor Mark Ballora Associate Professor of Music Technology Honors Adviser Gary Gray Associate Professor of Engineering Science and Mechanics Honors Adviser Judith A. Todd Department Head P. B. Breneman Chair and Professor of Engineering Science and Mechanics *Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College and Engineering Science and Mechanics Office. i Abstract Musical cultures around the world use tuning systems very different from the tuning system used in Western music. Comparing and contrasting intonation from various cultures could give insight into the question of learned versus innate preferences in the perception of music, and into the cultural development of musical traditions. However, methods for analyzing intonation in Western music have not been generalized to non-Western contexts. Flexible and non-discrete tuning used in cultures such as Arabic maqam music pose a chal- lenge for analyzing intonation. This paper attempts to generalize Stolzenburg’s “Periodicity” method and Gill and Purves’ “Similarity” method for microtonal music, and finds that they are ill-suited for the analysis of Arabic music. An alternative approach is developed, which analyzes the relative intonation of a series of consecutive notes. This approach reveals that Arabic intonation is fundamentally different from Western and Chinese intonation.

    Memory, Social Authority, and Composition in Damascene Dhikr

    Memory, Social Authority, and Composition in Damascene Dhikr By Jeffrey McCullough Piatt A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Stefania Pandolfo Professor Charles Hirschkind Professor Benjamin Brinner Spring 2014 Memory, Social Authority, and Composition in Damascene Dhikr Copyright 2014 by Jeffrey McCullough Piatt Abstract Memory, Social Authority, and Composition in Damascene Dhikr by Jeffrey McCullough Piatt Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology University of California, Berkeley Professor Stefania Pandolfo, Chair This dissertation examines the contemporary paradoxes, impasses, and new possibilities negotiated by Syrian Muslim men who practice the musical group worship of dhikr. Dhikr is group activity often associated with Sufism, and has long been an important part of Islamic practice in Syria and many other societies. Its historical tendency to rely heavily on song, movement, and affective expression within its ceremonies and discourses uniquely situate it as a site where questions are raised concerning the role music and emotion are to play in the building of ethical lives. Likewise, this dissertation takes dhikr as a site where modern transformations of society, of authority, and of norms governing the relation of religion and society are framed, and stances toward these issues worked out. Dhikr does not cleanly map onto the categories that are typically deployed to describe and study it, including the categories of mysticism, orthodoxy, and music. This research therefore also examines the way these categories, which inevitably must be discussed to understand dhikr, introduce their own particular distortions.
