 Egypt: Classical Music - Sound Clip - MSN Encarta   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
By the early 20th century, a typical classical Arab ensemble consisted of a singer accompanied by traditional instruments such as the oud (short-necked plucked lute), qanoun (zither), ney (end-blown flute), kamanja (spiked fiddle), and rigg (frame drum).
With the rise of musical theater and recording technology, these ensembles grew to include Western-style string instruments such as the violin, cello, and double bass.
In this excerpt Wahab composes for a smaller ensemble, or takht, with qanoun and ney interacting with the voice.

 MUSIC
Many Qanoun players formed ensembles named after them, which could be hired to accompany solo vocalists, and some famous singers had their own takhts.
In the 1930s a firqa typically included three or four violins, and this number increased to about 15 by the 1960s; the Qanoun, the ‘ûd and the nay were doubled, and new instruments were introduced, including the tabl (drum), the cello and the double bass.
The instrumental section maintained the structure of the firqa, comprising about 12 violins, two cellos, a double bass, a Qanoun, an ‘ûd, a nay, a riqq and a tabla, and the conductor was established as its leader.

 In Lebanon, a War's Lethal Harvest - washingtonpost.com
DEIR QANOUN, Lebanon -- The messages scrawled in red on the concrete, stone and cinder-block walls near Ali Saqlawi's house are worded differently but mean the same: "CB," "cb strike," "cluster strike." Arrows point with deceptive precision in every direction.
He has already seen the thousands of bomblets the size of cellphones that littered his town, the detritus from hundreds of cluster bombs fired in the last days of the 33-day war with Israel.
In Saqlawi's village of Deir Qanoun, Lovell found four holes where residents had picked up 1,013 bomblets on their own.

 Al-Ahram Weekly | Books Supplement (June 2002) | Nineties, nicotine and forgetfulness
Eloquent, ironic and subversive avowals of the dissipation and despair of his generation, these have however now been added to by Abdel-Latif's utilisation of an airtight narrative technique, an ability to contextualise the self and a mature autobiographical vision.
While El-Qaffash's fable of domestic discord is as logically and tightly constructed as a folk tale, Abdel-Latif's contemporary Bildungsroman recalls the open-ended, contemplative, honest-to-God improvisations of the American Beat Generation.
Qanoun Al-Wiratha opens like one of Abdel-Latif's poems with a simple, telling scene that holds the key to an entire life's predicament.
