Reflections. 520 "During the early medieval Islamicate period (800-1400 CE), discourses concerned with music and musicians were wide-ranging and contentious, and expressed in works on music theory and philosophy as well as literature and poetry. But in spite of attempts by influential scholars and political leaders to limit or control musical expression, music and sound permeated all layers of the social structure. Lisa Nielson here presents a rich social history of music, musicianship and the role of musicians in the early Islamicate era. Focusing primarily on Damascus, Baghdad and Jerusalem, Lisa Nielson draws on a wide variety of textual sources written for and about musicians and their professional/private environments -- including chronicles, literary sources, memoirs and musical treatises -- as well as the disciplinary approaches of musicology to offer insights into musical performances and the lives of musicians. In the process, the book sheds light onto the dynamics of medieval Islamicate courts, as well as how slavery, gender, status and religion intersected with music in courtly life. It will appeal to scholars of the Islamicate world and historical musicologists."-- |cProvided by publisher. 650 0 Music |zIslamic countries |xHistory |yTo 1500. 650 0 Musicians |zIslamic countries |xHistory |yTo 1500. 650 0 Musicology |zIslamic countries. 651 0 Islamic countries |xSocial conditions. 650 7 Music. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01030269 650 7 Musicians. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01030837 650 7 Musicology. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01030893 650 7 Social conditions. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919811 651 7 Islamic countries. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01244130 648 7 To 1500 |2fast 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 |iebook version : |z9780755617906 830 0 Early and medieval Islamic world 910 |cG0601mon 914 (OCoLC)on1246519357 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20221117 |eprocessed |f1246519357 980 |i115.00 |j94.30 |n40030588429 982 |bFY22 |cmus |n2022 |q32101112578339 986 |hML3545 |i.N56 2021
