Abstract

Many of the great works of world literature are composed in metrical verse, that is, in lines which are measured and patterned. Meter in Poetry: A New Theory is the first book to present a single simple account of all known types of metrical verse, which is illustrated with detailed analyses of poems in many languages, including English, Spanish, Italian, French, classical Greek and Latin, Sanskrit, classical Arabic, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Latvian. This outstanding contribution to the study of meter is aimed both at students and scholars of literature and languages, as well as anyone interested in knowing how metrical verse is made.

Abstract

A groundbreaking anthropological analysis of Islam as experienced by Muslims, By Noon Prayer builds a conceptual model of Islam as a whole, while travelling along a comparative path of biblical, Egyptological, ethnographic, poetic, scriptural and visual materials. Grounded in long-term observation of Arabo-Islamic culture and society, the study captures the rhythm of Islam weaving through the lives of Muslim women and men.Examples of the rhythmic nature of Islam can be seen in all aspects of Muslims' everyday lives. Muslims break their Ramadan fast upon the sun setting, and they receive Ramadan by sighting the new moon. Prayer for their dead is by noon and burial is before sunset. This is space and time in Islam - moon, sun, dawn and sunset are all part of a unique and unified rhythm, interweaving the sacred and the ordinary, nature and culture in a pattern that is characteristically Islamic.

Abstract

Practical suggestions, and documentary evidence, for performers wishing to understand the gestures and nuances embedded in eighteenth-century musical notation. There are, of course, no commas, periods, or question marks in music of the Baroque and Classic eras. Nonetheless, the concept of "punctuating" music into longer and shorter units of expression was richly explored by many of the era's leading composers, theorists, and performers. The Art of Musical Phrasing in the Eighteenth Century gathers and discusses, for the first time, an extensive collection of quotations and musical illustrations relevant tophrase articulation and written and unwritten rests. Among the notable authors cited and discussed are Muffat, Telemann, C. P. E. Bach, Mattheson, Marpurg, Tartini, and Mozart's father Leopold (author of the most important eighteenth-century treatise on string playing). On a larger scale, The Art of Musical Phrasing demonstrates the role of punctuation within the history of rhetoric during the Age of Enlightenment. From this, the performer of todaycan gain a greater appreciation for both the strengths and shortcomings of the analogy that writers of the day drew between punctuation in written language and in music. Modern performers, argues Vial, have the challenge andresponsibility of understanding and conveying the nuances, inflections, and rhythmic gestures deeply embedded in eighteenth-century musical notation. The Art of Musical Phrasing, the fruit of Vial's rich experience as a cellist performing on both period and modern instruments, lays out long-needed practical suggestions for achieving this goal. Stephanie D. Vial performs and records widely as a cellist and has taught at the University ofNorth Carolina at Chapel Hill and Duke University.

Abstract

La métrique de la poésie arabe a longtemps été considérée sous son seul aspect théorique et les recherches qui lui ont été consacrées ont presque exclusivement consisté en une réinterprétation des principes de la théorie classique attribuée à al-Ḫalīl b. Aḥmad al-Farāhīdī (mort entre 776 et 791 de l’ère chrétienne), jugée à tort comme un miroir fidèle de la pratique des poètes. En effet, en dépit de son réel attrait formel, cette théorie présente l’inconvénient d’inventorier un certain nombre de mètres, modèles de vers et variantes qui ne sont pas attestés dans la réalité, et l’approche esthétique développée par les métriciens postérieurs à al-Ḫalīl n’a que partiellement permis de gommer ces défauts. La théorie classique a aussi représenté une rupture avec la conception « traditionnelle » de la métrique. L’analyse empirique d’un corpus représentatif de près de quarante mille vers attribués à cent poètes préislamiques et du premier demi-siècle de l’islam, combinée à celle des rares témoins d’une terminologie et d’une taxinomie métriques pré-ḫalliennes, permet de reconstituer un système qui diffère considérablement du système classique, tant pour ce qui est de l’inventaire et de la structure des modèles de vers qu’en ce qui concerne leur catégorisation et leur organisation d’ensemble. En prenant pour base cette reconstitution, il est enfin possible de formuler un certain nombre d’hypothèses concernant l’évolution du système dans le temps (de 450 à 670 de l’ère chrétienne) et dans l’espace (la péninsule Arabique et la Haute Mésopotamie), en montrant par là même l’existence d’importantes disparités régionales que le processus d’uniformisation du VIIe siècle, tout en provoquant la disparition de modèles rares ou archaïques, ne fit qu’atténuer.
