Muwashshahat Sheet Music

Amos - 10-9-2011 at 07:59 PM

Hi Everyone,
After returning from studying Arabic in Morocco I've decided that I am going to pursue Ararbic language study at the graduate level; similarly, my focus in on Arabic music now, whereas previously I had been centered on Turkish music. I am especially interested in using my new language skills to learn and perform muwashshahat. Can anyone help with a good source of sheet music/lyrics for muwashshahat? The sheets can be in Arabic, that's fine. I know Issa Boulous' site has a few good ones but I am looking for more. Ive been searching in Arabic and had an easy time finding lyrics but the sheet music is harder. Any help is much appreciated! Best regards!

Hi,

I'm also looking for Muwashahat scores, or other classical vocal pieces.

But unlike Amos, it DOES matter that the lyrics are in phonetic - my wife has a beautiful voice but doesn't read arabic ;)

I found some in Erlanger's book but would like other ones

Thanks !

Dan
