Opis

Connecting the struggles of the past to those so tragically familiar in the present, author Tala Jarjour considers Syriac chant as living musical practice situated in its historic, social, and cultural context.

Recenzje

Sense and Sadness is little short of path-breaking: in addition to filling a major gap in the scholarship, it pushes the boundaries of current thinking about musical mode, affect, community, and ritual in the Middle East region.
