The Musical Heritage of Al-Andalus is a critical account of the
history of Andalusian music in Iberia from the Islamic conquest of
711 to the final expulsion of the Moriscos (Spanish Muslims
converted to Christianity) in the early 17th century. This volume
presents the documentation that has come down to us, accompanied by
critical and detailed analyses of the sources written in Arabic,
Old Catalan, Castilian, Hebrew, and Latin. It is also informed by
research the author has conducted on modern Andalusian musical
traditions in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Lebanon and Syria.
While the cultural achievements of medieval Muslim Spain have been
the topic of a large number of scholarly and popular publications
in recent decades, what may arguably be its most enduring
contribution - music - has been almost entirely neglected. The
overarching purpose of this work is to elucidate as clearly as
possible the many different types of musical interactions that took
place in medieval Iberia and the complexity of the various
borrowings, adaptations, hybridizations, and appropriations
involved.
