"call to prayer" intonation
I was wondering if studying some "call to the prayer" should be a useful exercise to get the intonation of common maqams.
Anyone has some suggestions of recordings ?
Best,
Juju
NB : I found an article taken from the Garland Encyclopedia that makes a short transcription (page 5) but I didn't find the original recording from
Sono Cairo ...

Sure it can be useful, to get the main mood of the maqam.
Many classical players have a background in coran cantillation...And many don't ! Listening a song of Oum Kalthoum is also very pedagogic is feeling
the mood of a maqam and how to explore it. Some Coran cantillators have a soulfful interpretation, some more or less...Listen and make your choice
for prayer call you can make a search for adhan ( أذان ) you will find so many
for ex in hijaz:

If you read arabic, I found this website which is full of records to explore. Cantillation and lessons. Among them some specific irakis maqams.

A very famous, and in my opinion best recording of Rabbana (sura al imran, سورة
العمران by Shajarian.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZBrqXEBj28
Listened to, for decades, by Iranians during iftar/افطار
Enjoy

Would like to point out it should read سورة آل عمران , Al Imran in two words,
meaning the sourat of the Imran family. آل (aal) here meaning "family" and not "al" the prefix.

Jews with roots in the Arabic-speaking world also chant in maqam. The weekly "Parsha," the portion of the Torah (1st 5 books of the Bible) chanted
Saturday mornings in the synagogue, is chanted according to a schedule of maqamat.
Here is a recording of "Parshat Naso," Numbers 4:21-7:89, chanted in maqam Husseini:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWW7q_nk6Pk Chanting at about 5:13 - 7:00
Peace out,
"Udi" John

Al-Haraam Azan
I think by far my favorite muezzin for the call to prayer
Sheikh Farook Hadrawi
Very deep low bassy voice amongst the pool of muezzin there at Al-Haraam
This is a more junior one
Sheikh Dughreeree
But either ways I am not sure of the maqams )

I like Sheikh Mustafa Ismail's acrobatic movements. Not that I recognize
them all but his Rast & Jiharkah, especially in the high notes, are very powerful.
