Hi Samir. Probably you mean the Garland Encyclopedia of World Music, Volume 6: The Middle East? 1200 delectable pages. Here is a brief Whole Earth blurb on the series, and here is the Amazon page on the Middle East volume.

Hm! Clicked on Scott Marcus' name at the Amazon site and found that he had a book coming out this month (paperback next month) entitled Music in the Middle East:
Experiencing Music, Expressing Culture. 128 pages and a CD, about $18 in paperback.

Samir, is that a book that you can take home, or do you have to read it there at the U library?

Nah you cant leave with it. It's part of the encyclopedia wich has some 10 volumes. Its would be neat to have at home... but its really extensively
researched stuff like tribal music in different times.. There's even a chapter on Maronite and Coptic music wich comes from old time Syria. So if you
need a specific info then you'll find it in there only I cant spend more then 20mins reading it or else I'll get information overload that's how
precise and documented the information in it is. A great work tho.. I cant imagine the years of research that led to this work.

Thanks

Here is the full title:
The Garland Encyclopedia of World Music, vol. 6: The Middle East (New York: Routledge, 2002),
ISBN 0-8240-6042-3.
The volume is part of a ten-volume set covering the music cultures of all major parts of the world. There is a lot of interesting stuff in these
volumes, and I have been enjoying reading about various kinds of music since I got thefull set a couple of years ago. The dozens of articles in the
Middle East volume are organized in part by region (North Africa, the eastern Arab world, the Arabian Peninsula, Armenia, Kurdistan, Turkey, Iran,
Central Asia, and Israel), and in part by general theme (theory and performance, religious music, popular music and the media, gender, learning and
transmission, and history). It's a useful reference work, with short pieces that provide overviews of various aspects of the region's music along with
suggestions for further reading.

Hey everyone,
I hope all of you are doing well. I just wanted to bring this post to your attention again. I also wanted to let you know that I have the full
dissertation in pdf format, and I'm very willing to share this with all of you. Knowing that Dr. Marcus approved of our posting the pdf's here before,
I don't think it would be a problem to do the rest.
Special thanks to ALAMI for hosting the file on his site:
Arab Music Theory in the Modern Period
I hope this will help all of us in our music theory endeavors.

I can give you an ftp space
I can mail you the login and pass, all you have to do is to upload the file using an ftp software (like the free Firefox add-on : FireFTP) and once
uploaded you can paste the link in a post and it will become available to everyone.

Alright guys, I went ahead and linked it in the post above. Special thanks to ALAMI once again. I wasn't able to upload it over the weekend because
I'm still running dial-up at home (no DSL in my area---unbelievable, huh?) Anyway, hope you all enjoy.

TP and ALAMI, Thank you guys, this is by far the best resource that I have seen on Arabic music. Wealth of information, very interesting, I am still
going through this and already have a couple of questions regarding tuning which I will post in a separate thread.
Is there a way to thank Scott Marcus for his kind permission to share his work here in the forums?
