[Andalusi Studies] Muwashshah in modern music

[Dangler, C.Jean]

Dear David,

I love this question.  Here is a link to an article from the MESA Bulletin on the muwashshahat in modern Syrian performance:

http://www.jstor.org/stable/23063089

Google Scholar brings up a couple of other interesting sources as well, most notably Tova Rosen’s brief discussion in the chapter from The Literature of Al-Andalus, where she mentions the muwashshah as part of the repertoire of the Lebanese singer Fairouz.  Extending the question to the zajal, Alex Elinson gave a paper last fall at the SCMLA in New Orleans on Driss Mesnnaoui, a current Moroccan writer and zajal poet, though I don’t believe he performs with music.

Good luck,
Jean

Dear Andalusiyyin,
Can anyone refer to to scholarship dealing with the muwashshah as a modern performance genre? Thanks very much.

Best regards,
David
