	Maqam
		Maqamat are "unique to Arabian art music." The Western term that comes closest to describing the maqam is the mode, and mode is often used to describe the over seventy heptatonic tone rows or scales of maqamat.
		The notes of a maqam are not of equal temperament (meaning that the difference in pitch between each note is not identical, unlike in the chromatic scale used in modern Western music).
		In music, a maqam [sic] (plural maqamat) is "a technique of improvisation" that defines the pitches, patterns, and development of a piece of music.

	Arab music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		"Both Arabian and Indian art music are based on a modal tone system and are subject to the maqam and raq phenomenon, a unique type of improvisation that is common to both secular and sacred Arabian and Indian music.
		...This recording presents two musicians with the gift of musical conceptualization who merge their skills to create a blending of the Indian raq and the Arabian maqam, both of which rest on non-tempered scales that paraphrase tonal-spatial modes and convey moods that move the listener.
		Heir to the legacy of Zaryab, Simon Shaheen, a virtuoso of both the ud and the violin, is a musical of rare skill who has done much in the last decade to preserve the greatness of Arab art music.

	Litham
		We introduce algerian rythms in the music (it is not the same when you say arabian beacse in algerian music there is not only arabian music there is african, andalousian, amazighian, european musics)!
		This new spirit is very inspired from chaâbi (popular Algerian music), andalousian (Algerian classical music) or bedoui, a blend that allowed the introduction of new rhythms in metal, such as insiraf, or goubbahi.
		With their new compositions, Litham unveils a new face of its musical evolution, by exploring musical paths of the national Algerian patrimony.

	Adamah - Mildred Norton (1948) [FilmMaterialien 6]
		This is the only place in the film where the 12-tone system is used, however owing to the short time Dessau had to write his score, and the difficulty such organically involved music poses both to the creator and the performers.
		This provides the background music for the sequence in which the boys and girls clear the land of boulders, carrying out the feeling of monotonous, heavy toil and providing also, by its reiterated motif, a unifying framework for scenes that are necessarily disjunctive.
		The actors are the children themselves, flotsam from the concentration camps of Europe, who were learning to forget their memories of terror, in the safety of the schoolroom, healthful toil in the fields and the normal fun of normal children.

		The Indian sruti system is definetely more elaborate and complicated than the Western and Arabian tone systems.
		The first part deals with the derivation of relative frequencies and properties of the 12 basic swaras of the Indian system of music.
		However, what really makes our music more interesting and rich is the use of gamakas, or meend, and not merely the use of the additional minute sruthis.
