Reviews
At once singular and universal, Sense and Sadness is a story of rare power, told with compelling force. A riveting exploration of a musical tradition rarely treated in scholarship - thought-provoking, compelling, and urgent. * Susan Ashbrook Harvey, Willard Prescott and Annie McClelland Smith Professor of Religion and History, Brown University *
Sense and Sadness is little short of path-breaking: in addition to filling a major gap in the scholarship, it pushes the boundaries of current thinking about musical mode, affect, community, and ritual in the Middle East region. * Jonathan H. Shannon, Professor of Anthropology, Hunter College *
