Maqam Analysis: A Primer (p2)

A Maqam as a Pathway; Common Pathways

On the Analysis track see section IV. Common Pathways for more examples and longer passages of these examples.

Example 14

From Ya Shadi il-Alhan:

Example 15

From Sihtu Wajdan, although the version here has two differences from the transcription presented in the article, including the use of Nahawand 5 in #11, and more significantly, the substitution of the less common Hijazkar and Nakriz in #16 and #17 for what in most other versions is usually Hijaz 5 (in place of #16) and Rast 1 or Sikah 3 (in place of #17), as I transcribed it. But I love Marie Jubran's version of the song more than others I had available, and I wanted to diversify the vocalists used on the site as much as I could, so I decided to include it.

Example 16

From Hayrana Leh:

Example 17

See Maqam Rast on the Demo Site, as well as the top of the Maqam Rast page on this site for illustrations of the network of ajnas making up Maqam Rast.
