Sense and Sadness is a study of music modality in relation to human
emotion and the aesthetics of perception. It is also a musical
story of survival through difficulty and pain. Focusing on chant at
St George's Syrian Orthodox Church of Aleppo, author Tala Jarjour
puts forward the concept of the emotional economy of aesthetics,
which enables a new understanding of modal musicality in general
and of Syriac musicality in particular. Jarjour combines insights
from musicology and ethnomusicology, sound and religious studies,
anthropology, history, East Christian and Middle Eastern studies,
and the study of emotion, to seamlessly weave together multiple
strands of a narrative which then becomes the very story it tells.
At once intimate and analytical, this ethnographic text entwines
academic thinking with its subject(s) and subjectivities. Drawing
on imagination and metaphor, Jarjour brings to the fore
overlapping, at times contradictory, modes of sense and
sense-making. And reconciling multiple worlds as well as modes of
thinking and belief, Sense and Sadness portrays events, writing,
people, and music as they unfold together through ritual
commemorations and a devastating, ongoing war.
