 Turath Theory of Arab Music by Ali Jihad Racy Maqam   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Music, or al-musiqa, a term that came from the Greek, emerged as a speculative discipline and as one of al-ulum al-riyadiyyah, or "the mathematical sciences," which paralleled the Quatrivium (arithmetic, music, geometry, and astronomy) in the Latin West.
The third major process affecting Arab music was the contact between the Islamic Near East and Europe at the time of the Crusades in the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth centuries and during the Islamic occupation of Spain (713-1492.) This contact had a widespread impact on both Islamic and European traditions.
For example, the music of North Africa, primarily Morocco and Algeria, differs from the music of Egypt and the Levant in matters of intonation, modality, preference for certain musical instruments, and degree of exposure and retention of Andalusian musical influence.

 Hanns Eisler: Music: Virgil Thomson reviews Eisler
Eisler's music, whether the style of it is chromatic and emotional, diatonic and formalist, or strictly atonal in the dodecaphonic manner, always has charm.
The music, strictly twelve-tone, is scored for flute, violin, clarinet cello and piano.
The music sounds enough like rain, but the absence of narrative in the film prevents it from adding to this merely atmospheric effect a full emotional account of what rain can mean.

 Brahms notes
Even when writing music for instruments alone, Wagner and his disciples believed that Classical or early Romantic formal principles were academic, sterile, and a hindrance to full emotional expression.
It was not, however, that Wagner's group had lost respect for composers of the past: Beethoven continued to be venerated as the consummate master of the symphony.
Finally overcoming the previous tension, the music fights its way to an energetic coda, during which the trombone chorale from the beginning of the movement returns in triumph.

The bound up piles of music on the floor are undoubtedly part of the vast numbers of copyright deposits that formed the nucleus of the Library's music collections and which, taken as a whole, constitute one of the Library's greatest treasures.
Even so, much music material was left in the Copyright Office and was not transferred to the Music Division until some time in the 1950s.
Although the Music Division possesses many great musical treasures and rarities, the items deposited for copyright (numbering in the millions) make up the heart of its collections, and are, in the aggregate, perhaps the greatest treasure of all.

 Arab Music - Part Two
in Arab music and the absence of complex polyphony, a phenomenon distinguishing music of this part of the world, and a good portion of Asia, from the music of Europe and certain areas in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Although it is the basis for various musical compositions, the maqâm scheme may be best illustrated through such nonmetric improvisatory genres as the instrumental solo known in Egypt and the Levant as taqâsîm, vocal forms such as the layali and the mawwal, and religious genres such as Qur'anic chanting and the Sufi Qasidah.
Influencing the nature of phrasing and the patterns of accentuation of a musical composition, these modes are rendered on percussion instruments within the ensemble, including the tablah (a vase-shaped hand-drum) and the riqq (a small tambourine).
