DESCRIPTION:In spite of the many approaches that dealt with the musical maq
 ām as practiced in Egypt and the Levant during the twentieth century\, th
 e maqām for the so-called "west" and so-called "east"\, remained a "magic
 al" subject\, with what all the word "magic" could imply.  In practice\, t
 he rules of the maqām are obvious\, while in theory\, it suddenly joins t
 he incense burners and the myths and demons of the East\, thus depriving u
 s of understanding its invented intricacies. In addition\,  a new approach
  to the maqām is introduced\, far from all tiring and useless centesimal/
 infinitesimal measurements of its intervals.  This approach opens up to sp
 aces of musical expression in other musical traditions\, to show the unive
 rsality of intervals and musical scales meaning.\n\n \n\nSpeakers:\n\nProf
 essor Rasha Tomoum is a musicologist in the Theory & Composition Departmen
 t\, Faculty of Music Education\, Helwan University\, Cairo\, Egypt. \n\n \
 n\nDr. Amer AI Didi received his PhD in Musicology from Sorbonne Universit
 y\, Paris. He is a specialist of maqâm history and theory. He has taught 
 at the American University of Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates\, and An
 tonine University\, Lebanon.
