[Andalusi Studies] Fwd: Humanities Decanted: Dwight Reynolds, The Musical Heritage of Al-Andalus

[Dwight Reynolds]

For any who might be interested, I will be discussing my recent book (*The
Musical Heritage of al-Andalus*) with Debra Blumenthal (History, UCSB), a
specialist on medieval/early modern slavery and gender in the
Mediterranean, in a Zoomcast on Thursday, Feb. 18, at 4 pm (Pacific
Standard Time), see below.

It should be a lively discussion and there will be a Q&A session afterwards
via Zoom chat.

Join us online for a dialogue between Dwight Reynolds (Religious Studies)
and Debra Blumenthal (History) about Reynolds’ new book, *The Musical
Heritage of Al-Andalus*. Audience Q&A will follow.

*The Musical Heritage of Al-Andalus* is a critical account of the history
of Andalusian music in Iberia from the Islamic conquest of 711 to the final
expulsion of the Moriscos (Spanish Muslims converted to Christianity) in
the early 17th century. This volume presents the documentation that has
come down to us, accompanied by critical and detailed analyses of the
sources written in Arabic, Old Catalan, Castilian, Hebrew, and Latin. It is
also informed by research the author has conducted on modern Andalusian
musical traditions in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Lebanon, and Syria.

While the cultural achievements of medieval Muslim Spain have been the
topic of a large number of scholarly and popular publications in recent
decades, what may arguably be its most enduring contribution – music – has
been almost entirely neglected. The overarching purpose of this work is to
elucidate as clearly as possible the many different types of musical
interactions that took place in medieval Iberia and the complexity of the
various borrowings, adaptations, hybridizations, and appropriations
involved.
