This series of short films is the best presentation of special topics. I have used these films for almost 40 years in my Gen Mus classes. Discovering Jazz is superb and out of print..
As a middle eastern: since the melody of middle eastern countries are very similar the thing keeping each of their music unique is the choice of instrument For example in Arab countries *Qanoon* and *Oud* is mostly used cause they sound more arabic or in Iran (Persia) *Santoor* and *Tar* are used cause they sound more persian
This film, and the others in the Discovering Music series are simply excellent....most of them are on line. They were made at UCLA in the late 1960s and early 1970s....Being a lover of short film, the content and presentation of this series, checks all of my music ed boxes. The films are available on disc, but the Jazz film is out of print forever...not sure why. Thanks for posting this video!
I first ran into this video in college, where the prof, accidentally put in the wrong tape, he played it for like 4 minutes. Now I just found it. Great stuff !!
There is evidence of musical notation from the Hellenistic Period which seems to prove that ancient Greek music already had much of the musical features that we associate with middle eastern music today. It is more likely actually, that middle eastern music is a re-purposed & regionalised remnant of ancient greek musical standards that spread east over the centuries. Much like how the phenomena of Buddha statues is a product of the marriage between Hellenistic culture and Buddhist religion.
