What are some ways this chapter will use music as a window into the culture, history, and ideas of the Arab people? (Answers may vary—see Worlds of Music.)

What will be an ideal response?


• "[Y]ou will explore the inspirational influence of religion, the history of the region, relationships to Western musical practices and ideas, some wonderful celebrations, the musical roles and activities of men and women, and the importance of the Arab diaspora. . . . [This chapter] presents a variety of regional musical styles and sub-cultures, yet the overarching theme of the chapter is that of music in diaspora—Arab music-culture as it exists throughout the world—where it thrives and where it is endangered—and the ability of music and musicians to create culture and connect communities through music."
