Conclusions

See the "Big Picture" analysis of Aruh Li meen for a sense of the shape of the maqam system, as well as for an excellent example of the long-song genre illustrating some of the points made in the conclusion of "Maqam Analysis: A Primer." Several other "long songs" are also analyzed on this site, including Lissa Fakir (Verses 1-3), Ba3eed 3annak (Verses 1-2), Fakkaruni (1st verse only), and Huwa Sahih (fragment from 1st verse).

At this point I encourage you (If you haven't done so already, following the links from this page) to follow the entire Analysis track from start to finish, starting with the Introduction. Spend real time repeat-listening to all of the examples, and train your ears to understand them. Then you can follow this page on to the next sections, leading finally to my discussion of the work to be done to continue what's been started here.
