Not CDrom but audio CD,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sufi Music of India and Pakistan: Sound, Context and Meaning in Qawwali (Paperback)
This book on Sufi music (250 pages) does NOT include CDrom, but an ordinary audioCD. Otherwise it's fabulous value for the money! Great research with lots of music examples and some photos!

4.0 out of 5 stars
Sometimes a little too technical, but an effective analysis,
This review is from: Sufi Music of India and Pakistan: Sound, Context and Meaning in Qawwali (Paperback)
Qureshi offers an in-depth analysis of Qawwali music, without ever referring to the ever-popular Nusrat Fateh Ali-Khan. Truly a provokative look at the context, meaning, and structure of Qawwali music and dance performances. At times, however, I felt that the analysis was unnecessarily complicated, constantly referring to the author's complicated (musical notation) field notes, but who am I to criticize the work of an ethnomusicologist. Besides, the only thing I wanted to get out of the book was the context of Qawwali performances, not the precise musical structures of Sufi music.g_money@hotmail.com |
