This article should be helpful:

Ethnomusicology, vol. 36, no. 2 (Spring/Summer 1992), pp. 171-195.

David just pre-empted my message. If you have access to a university library you should be able to find many articles on Arab music on online
databases.

Hamid,
Posting a copyrighted article on a web site like this one, which makes it widely available at no cost, is not considered fair use and does violate
copyright law. Academic institutions that have digital data bases like JSTOR pay subscription fees for them and are obligated to confine access to
them only to their students and staff. Others cannot log on and use them. Even professors who put up digital files of assigned copyrighted articles on
their web sites have to restrict access to the material to their class. The argument that our intent is educational won't fly. Otherwise we could use
it to reproduce and disseminate freely anything copyrighted, making copyright practically meaningless.

Thank you, Al-Halabi. I stand corrected.
I'll try to correct the positings that I've made.
