Music of Islam Vol. 1-15 [Box-Set] (Celestial Harmonies Series)
It would have been more appropriate to name the album, "Music of the Islamic World" since the music in this and others in the series are a collection of classical performances from Muslim countires.
The Music of Islam ;THE PROJECT
Ten years in the making, The Music of Islam series recorded in Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Turkey, Yemen, Pakistan, Indonesia, Iran and Qatar represents the most comprehensive sound documentation available to Westerners today, of a world religion dating back to 1/622. Although governed by strict rules for fourteen centuries, contact with other cultures has radically affected Islamic music throughout history. As the world enters the XV/21st century the timing of this collection serves an even larger purpose, documenting the traditions that have survived and will continue to survive for centuries to come.(Music of Islam: Vol.Today, one fifth of the world's population, over one billion people, are Muslims, occupying a large territory stretching from the Atlantic shore of north and west Africa, through west, central, and south Asia to island southeast Asia, and attracting an increasing following in India, western Europe, north America, east Asia, and southern Africa. This is a global presence which cannot be ignored.
The complete set of 17 CDs from Celestial Harmonies' Music of Islam series features music from every corner of the Islamic world, including North Africa, the Middle East and Indonesia.One highlight are the extremely detailed and extensive liner notes, which are excerpts of chapters from books on Islam and Islamic music. A must-have for any collector of Islamic music.
