内容説明・目次

内容説明

A distinctive and important genre of Muslim devotional music, Qawalli is closely identified with Sufism, the mystical form of Islam. At a Qawalli assembly, Sufi devotees gather under the guidance of a spiritual leader to experience states of mystical love and divine ecstasy through a ritual listening to music. In this text, the author creates a "context-sensitive musical grammar", with the aim of providing a means to study the setting, audience and performance as elements of the music.
