The story of music told in this book begins in pre-Islamic times
with musical forms that bear strong imprints of the Bedouin's
tribal way of life. Pre-Islamic music can be viewed as the
forerunner of the art music that acquired a foothold after the
advent of Islam. The history of Arab music then became inextricably
entwined with the musical traditions of the conquered lands. The
merging of diverse forms into a unique common style marked the
advent of the Great Musical Tradition that gained favor throughout
an extensive geographical area. By the end of Islam's third
century, distinct autonomous styles began to appear involving
Persians and Turks in particular.
