Tracing the connections between music making and built space in
both historical and contemporary times, Music, Sound, and
Architecture in Islam brings together domains of intellectual
reflection that have rarely been in dialogue to promote a greater
understanding of the centrality of sound production in constructed
environments in Muslim religious and cultural expression.
Representing the fields of ethnomusicology, anthropology, art
history, architecture, history of architecture, religious studies,
and Islamic studies, the volume's contributors consider sonic
performances ranging from poetry recitation to art, folk, popular,
and ritual musics-as well as religious expressions that are not
usually labeled as "music" from an Islamic perspective-in relation
to monumental, vernacular, ephemeral, and landscape architectures;
interior design; decoration and furniture; urban planning; and
geography. Underscoring the intimate relationship between
traditional Muslim sonic performances, such as the recitation of
the Qur'an or devotional songs, and conventional Muslim
architectural spaces, from mosques and Sufi shrines to historic
aristocratic villas, gardens, and gymnasiums, the book reveals
Islam as an ideal site for investigating the relationship between
sound and architecture, which in turn proves to be an innovative
and significant angle from which to explore Muslim cultures.
