00 u<OU_1 68252 >m CD A HISTORY OF ARABIAN MUSIC A HISTORY OF ARABIAN MUSIC TO THE XIIlTH CENTURY BY HENRY GEORGE FARMER M.A., PH.D., M.R.A.S. AUTHOR OF " The Arabian Influence on Musical Theory." " The Arabic Musical Manuscripts in the Bodleian Library" " The Influence of Music : From Arabic Sources." LUZAC & co. 46 GREAT RUSSELL STREET, LONDOW, "W.C. (Opposite the British Museum} 1929 Printed in Great Britain at the BURLEIGH PRESS, Lewin's Mead, BRISTOL, To THE MEMORY OF MY MU'ALLIM, THE LATE REV. DR. T. H. WEIR, M.A., B.D., D.D., LECTURER IN ARABIC IN THE UNIVERSITY OF GLASGOW (1902-28), THIS VOLUME IS DEDICATED IN TOKEN OF GRATITUDE. " I regard it as a high compliment having been invited to write the Preface to a treatise which is the fruit of so much research, and which displays so much industry and accuracy. It is, however, certain that you require no intro- duction from me to the Orientalist public, and none from any- one to the musical. I might, therefore, be charged with presumption if I accepted your invitation. " Further, I find a fair number of propositions in the which differ from conclusions the work seriously my own ; latter may certainly be erroneous, and I am most willing and even anxious that such as differ from them should be put before the world. ... I am sure therefore that bearing in mind these considerations, you will accept my cordial thanks for your proposal while excusing me for declining it." PROFESSOR D. S. MARGOLIOUTH, Oxford University. PREFACE Although this work was commenced fifteen years ago, it was not until 1919-25, whilst I was fulfilling a Research Studentship at the University of Glasgow that it assumed its present form, During this period I had the benefit of the teaching, on the linguistical and historical side, of 1 the late Rev. Dr. T. H. Weir, a scholar of rare ability, as well as the occasional guidance, in matters relating to the 2 science of music, of the late Dr. H. J. Watt. Death has claimed both of these savants. Nevertheless, I take this opportunity of acknowledging, more especially to the former, my deep appreciation of their advice and help, always given ungrudgingly. In this work I have observed the conventional chrono- logical method because it was best suited to my purpose. Only by adopting this system could I have conveniently demonstrated how culture stood in relation to the social and political regimen. Each chapter is divided into three sections. The first deals with the social and political factors which determined the general musical culture. The second describes the musical life of the period, together with details of the theory and practice of music. This has been kept free, as far as was possible, from technicali- ties, although the author hopes to deal with the theory and science of Arabian music in detail, from an historical standpoint, in a companion volume. The third section is devoted to biographies of all the celebrated composers, singers, instrumentalists, theorists, scientists, and littera- teurs. In the transliteration of Arabic and Persian words I have adopted the system approved by the International Congress of Orientalists (1894), and recommended by the 1 The Lecturer in Arabic. The Lecturer on Psychology. vii viii PREFACE Royal Asiatic Society, with but slight modifications, notably in the non-observance of the ligature or logotype in th, dh, etc. In regard to proper names, I have kept to Arabic forms so far as I have considered reasonable. For instance, I have written Al-Mausil rather than Mosul, but with Mecca, Damascus, Cordova, I have fallen back on conventional usage, although I have only made a half- concession in Al- Medina. In dispensing with the forms Caliph and Caliphate in favour of Khalif and Khalifate, rather than the more proper Khalifa and Khilafat, I sincerely trust that I have not committed too serious a breach of convention. In the question of the use of the Arabic definite article, I probably have not always been consistent. A similar criticism may also be urged against my transliteration of the hamza. As for any inconsistency in plural forms, I have, generally speaking, only used Arabic plurals in words of non-European usage. The work has been planned to satisfy both the orienta- list and the musician, and in spite of the reputed fate of those who attempt to serve two masters, I can only hope that in this case the exception proves the rule. My sincere thanks are due to Professor Dr. D. S. Margo- liouth, of Oxford, and to Professor Dr. W. B. Stevenson, of Glasgow, for useful hints. To Dr. Richard Bell, of Edinburgh, and Mr. John Walker, M.A., I owe an acknowledgment for having read the proof sheets of this work.

Whether this design of the shdhrud appeared in the original work of Al-Farabi, or whether it is an addition by a later copyist, we have no evidence. The design does not appear in the Leyden 3 copy. Whilst its zither-like form agrees with the nth 4 5 century descriptions of Ibn Sina and Ibn Zaila, its lute-like structure is vouched for by Ibn Ghaibi in the 6 I5th century. To face page 108.

This transcript was made in the year 1661, and the scribe informs us that it " " " " was copied from a defective and unreliable exemplar which had been written in the city of Damascus in the year 1224. In this treatise, Al-Kindi deals with the theory of music almost entirely as he had learned it from the Greek treatises, and his system of notation was piobably influenced by these. To face page 202.

X INTRODUCTION " We must cease to regard Arabia as a land of deserts and barbarism ; it was, on the contrary, a trading centre of the ancient world, and the Muslims who went forth from it to conquer Christendom and found empires, were but the successors of those who, in earlier times, had exercised a profound influence upon the destinies of the East." Professor A. H. Sayce, Early Israel, p. 128. ALMOST everyone who has written on the subject of the music of the Arabs has looked, in the matter of origins, to either Greece or Persia. Much of this is perhaps excusable, seeing that until recent years we knew next to nothing of pre-Islamic Arabia save what could be gleaned from Greek and Latin authors or the legendary material handed down from pre-Islamic Arabic sources. Thus the temptation to look towards Greece and Persia in this question was considerable, especially when we consider the position of Arabia and the outside civiliza- tions which came in cultures-contact with it. Yet the truth is that Arabian culture did not originate in that " " shadowy period of the so-called Days of Idolatry when Greek, Roman, Byzantine, or Persian hegemonies were at their height, any more than it began with Islam, but dates back to a period long anterior to them all. The excavations made in recent years on the sites of ancient Semitic civilizations, have wrought wondrous changes in our notions of the world's culture-history. The earliest reference to Arabia reaches at present to the third millennium B.C., when we have cuneiform inscrip- tions which mention lands identified as being situated in Arabia. Under the Babylonian ruler Naram-Sin (ca. 2600 B.C.) a king of Magan or Makkan was conquered. In the time of Gudea (ca. 2400 B.C.) we read of a kingdom called Kimash or Mashu, as well as a place named Khakhu, and a land of Malukhkha. Finally, an inscription of xi xii INTRODUCTION Arad-Nannar (ca. 2300 B.C.) mentions a region known as Sabu. Although the precise location of these lands has been the subject of controversy, yet there is general agreement that they were situated in Arabia. Both Magan and Sabu have been identified with the South Arabian kingdoms of Ma' an (Ma'in) and Saba'.

    ARABIC LITERATURE – Postclassical Period Devin J Stewart, Ph.D

    HUMANITIES INSTITUTE ARABIC LITERATURE – Postclassical Period Devin J Stewart, Ph.D. Classical Poetry : Qasidah (Ode) The “Hanging Odes”, the Dichotomy of Chaste and Not-So-Chaste Love, Wine-Poetry, Mystical Poetry, and other uses of the classical ode (qasidah) The pre-Islamic Ode. The pre-Islamic poet `Antarah ibn Shaddad wrote, “Have the poets left a song unsung?” Already in the pre-Islamic period, Arabic poetry had a long and venerable tradition. The most prestigious art form of the Arabs, it served many roles in society. The earliest recorded sources reveal that the most valued form of Arabic poetry was the qasidah or ode, a form that is still in use today, having enjoyed a life of over fifteen centuries. The qasidah varied in length from about 30 to 100 lines, adopted monorhyme, and consisted of individual verses (bayt) made up of two hemistichs (misra`), with a caesura in the middle. By convention, the first hemistich in the first verse of the poem also rhymed with the second hemistich—the same monorhyme—in an effect termed tasri`. Critics identified sixteen distinct meters, all quantitative, involving set patterns of long and short syllables like the meters of Greek, Latin, and Sanskrit poetry. The qasidah was typically tripartite, beginning with an amatory prelude (nasib), which portrayed the poet traveling in the desert and coming across the abandoned campsite of a former love; the intensity of the emotion evoked by the traces or ruins (atlal) of his loved cause him to compose a poem. The middle section of the poem, the journey (rahil), described the hardships the poet went through in order to reach the patron or the audience.

This thesis provides a historical background and a brief literary survey that helps contextualize al-Rafii, the period, and the area he came from. AI-Rafii played an important role in the two literary and intellectual schools during the Arabic literary revival, which extended from the French expedition (1798-1801) to around the middle of the twentieth century. These two schools, known as the Old and the New, vied to shape the literature and thought of Egypt and other Arab countries. The former, led by al-Rafii, promoted a return to classical Arabic styles and tried to strengthen the Islamic identity of Egypt. The latter called for cutting off Egypt from its Arabic history and rejected the dominance and continuity of classical Arabic language. AI-Rafii contributed to the Revival by supporting a line ofthought that has not been favored by pro-Westernization governments, which made his legacy almost forgotten. Deriving his literature from the canon of Arabic language, culture, and history, al-Rafii produced a literature based on a revived version of classical Arabic literature, an accomplishment which makes him unique among modem Arab writers.

Although this theme has been examined individually in both Arabic and Hebrew literatures, to the best of my knowledge no detailed comparative analysis has previously been undertaken. Therefore, this study sets out to compare and contrast the two literatures and cultures arising out of their co-existence in al-Andalus in the middle ages. The main characteristics of the Arabic poetry of this period are to a large extent the product of the political and social upheavals that took place in al-Andalus.

It concerns an incident during the Prophet's illness when he asked for writing materials to dictate a will, but the people present around him said that he was talking nonsense. This event is a point of controversy between the two largest sects of Islam.
