Description

Discover new historical perspectives with this scholarly work from the Islamic History and Civilization series. This book provides a rare look into the 1932 First International Congress of Arab Music held in Cairo through the eyes of Henry George Farmer (1882-1965). As a leading musicologist specializing in Arab music, Farmer's personal records offer a unique window into this landmark event. For the first time, readers can access Farmer's unpublished journal and the detailed minutes from his work chairing the Commission on History and Manuscripts. These documents reveal the inner workings of the Congress, including his daily activities, meetings with dignitaries, and travels throughout the city. This volume serves as a vital resource for researchers and historians interested in the preservation of musical heritage and the history of musicology in the Middle East.
