Music in Ancient Arabia and Spain: Being La Musica De Las Cantigas by Julian Ribera is a comprehensive study of the musical traditions of ancient Arabia and Spain. The book explores the rich history of music in these regions, tracing its roots from pre-Islamic times to the present day. Ribera examines the various musical instruments used in these cultures, including the oud, the qanun, and the rebab, and provides detailed descriptions of their construction and playing techniques. He also delves into the role of music in religious and secular life, discussing the use of music in Islamic worship and the importance of music in courtly settings. The book includes numerous musical examples, with transcriptions of songs and instrumental pieces from the medieval Spanish manuscript Las Cantigas de Santa Maria. Overall, Music in Ancient Arabia and Spain is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of music in these regions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
